I've been using Tobramycin 300mg/5ml Inh Sol 56x5ml for a few months now to manage my cystic fibrosis. It's been helping with my lung infections, but I've been experiencing some side effects that I'm not sure are normal. Has anyone else had issues with increased sputum production or changes in taste? Also, are there any tricks to make the treatment more bearable? It's tough to use that nebulizer every day. Can't wait to hear your experiences with this medication.

I've been on Tobramycin for a while and I agree it can be tough. I found that using a humidifier in the room while I do the treatment helps a lot with the throat pain and dryness.

I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble with persistent cough or changes in hearing. I've noticed a slight ringing in my ears and it's a bit unnerving. Am I overreacting or should I talk to my doctor?

I'm on my third round of Tobramycin and I have to say, the treatment is tough, but it's been worth it. My lung function has gone from 53% to 63% since starting. Just a reminder to stick with it if it's helping. You don't want the infection to get worse.

I've been on Tobramycin for a year now and the side effects have been manageable. The only thing I really notice is the increased sputum production, but it's worth it because my lung function has improved. Just wanted to share some good news!

I've had a couple of flare-ups since starting Tobramycin. I think I might be allergic to something else in my environment, but I can't be sure. It's been hard to pinpoint the cause.

I've had a great experience with this medication. The side effects were minimal in my case. I mostly dealt with a bit of a headache but nothing too unmanageable. Just make sure to stay hydrated while on this treatment. Good luck!

I had a really bad allergic reaction to Tobramycin. I started getting hives and swelling in my throat. I was scared but thankfully I got to the ER in time. It's so important to be aware of these signs. Be safe out there!
