Tobramycin Inhalation Powder in Cystic Fibrosis Patients: Response by Age Group.
Tobramycin powder for inhalation (TIP) is a drug-device combination designed to reduce treatment time and improve ease of use compared with tobramycin inhalation solution (TIS) in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. However, the ability of patients to use dry powder inhalers, and the efficacy of the treatments, may vary by age. ⋯ TIP is comparable to TIS in efficacy outcomes and safety profile but had greater patient satisfaction in all the age groups.
