The efficacy of tobramycin inhalation solution in the treatment of bronchiectasis

Tobramycin inhalation solution specifications are 5ml:300mg. It is suitable for adults with bronchiectasis associated with pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection to control infection and improve symptoms. It is the first inhaled antibiotic independently developed in China. By changing the route of administration from intravenous injection to local inhalation, tobramycin inhalation solution can increase the local effective drug concentration in the lungs while avoiding systemic toxicity. Tobramycin inhalation solution significantly reduces the risk of drug resistance and is suitable for long-term maintenance treatment. For patients with bronchiectasis with PA infection, it can significantly reduce sputum PA load, reduce 24-hour sputum volume, reduce sputum purulence score, and significantly improve the patient's quality of life.
