What is Tobi Podhaler?
Tobi Podhaler is a medicine that contains the active substance tobramycin. It is available as capsules (28 mg) containing a dry powder for inhalation using a portable inhaler device.

What is Tobi Podhaler used for?
Tobi Podhaler is used to suppress chronic lung infection caused by bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa in adults and children aged six years and over who have cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that affects the cells in the lungs and the glands in the gut and pancreas which secrete fluids such as mucus and digestive juices. The accumulation of mucus in the lungs allows bacteria to grow more easily causing infections, lung damage and breathing problems. Bacterial lung infection with P. aeruginosa is frequent in cystic fibrosis patients.

Because the number of patients with cystic fibrosis and P. aeruginosa bacterial lung infection is low, the disease is considered 'rare' and Tobi Podhaler was designated an 'orphan medicine' (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 17 March 2003.

The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
