Pharmacological information of inhaled tobramycin

Tobramycin is used to treat people with cystic fibrosis who have a recurrent lung infection with a specific bacterium called Pseudomonas aeruginosa. People with cystic fibrosis produce thick, sticky mucus that can clog the airways and cause serious respiratory problems and lung infections.

Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which normally infects the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis. Tobramycin reduces the effects of lung infections and injuries and helps improve breathing.
