What is Tobi?
Tobi (tobramycin) is classified as an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It is most often used in the treatment of patients suffering from continuous lung infections caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. Patients struggling with cystic fibrosis often have trouble breathing and experience serious infections due to the accumulation of thick mucus in the lungs. By stopping the growth of certain bacteria in the lungs, Tobi can reduce infection and potential lung damage, making it easier to breathe.
Tobi is prescribed for both adults and children with cystic fibrosis. It is administered through a nebulizer machine that turns the medication into a mist that is inhaled.
What does Simplefill Provide?
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited condition that is present from birth, affecting the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive enzymes. Patients have thick, sticky mucus that blocks and damages the lungs and other organs, and makes the person vulnerable to infections.
In the past, CF patients rarely lived into adulthood, but modern medications have brought the average life expectancy to 37.5 years, with some patients living much longer. The cost of those medications is a major concern for the parents of children born with CF and for adults living with CF.
Working with Simplefill will alleviate the financial stress that is inevitable when dealing with a serious, progressive health condition. We provide a bridge between people who need help paying for vital medications and those who can provide that help.
How Does Tobi Work?
When inhaled as a mist, Tobi decreases the bacterial count in airways, which reduces infections and improves lung function in CF patients with chronic P. aeruginosa infection (P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and a species of pseudomonas bacteria). In the event of a severe exacerbation of infection, tobramycin can be administered intravenously by a health care professional.
