Because Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the leading cause of decreasing lung function for people with CF, TOBI is a treatment you don't want to skip.
The impact of not treating
When CF patients do not treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa, lung function declines about 2% a year. That could be about a 10% loss every 5 years.
To help improve lung function, stick with your treatments and take TOBI as prescribed by your doctor. That means twice a day for 28 days and then 28 days off.
You may not notice the immediate effects of TOBI. Results from TOBI clinical studies demonstrated:
Improved lung function
Fewer days in the hospital
Less need for IV antibiotics
Fitting in all your treatments is not easy, but make time for TOBI. TOBI can treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa, significantly improve lung function, and reduce the number of days in the hospital.
