I have Bronchiectasis since 2009 and have had Pseudomonus for several years now. I have been treated with IV antibiotics but it just comes back eventually. I am now resistant to Cipro and Astreonam and others. I was then treated with Toby (Tobramycin) in the nebulizer but it was hard to tolerate for me. Most seem to be able to use it though. Now I use nebulizer Amikacin but I can only tolerate it once a day. I am off for 28 days and then back on for 28 more days. So far so good. I have whitish or clear sputum but still a lot of coughing and some wheezing as I also have asthma.

Hi,
Thank you for writing.  
Sorry to hear the Pseudomonas keeps coming back.  I’m hoping to be treated with something that will get rid of it but the more I read, it doesn’t seem that’s often the case.  I hope to at least get rid if of the green sputum.  I’m waiting to hear back from my ID doctor at OHSU.  I have Asthma as well.  I use a nebulizer twice a day with Budesonide and Ipatropium/Levabuteral. I’m so glad to have found this site.  It’s good to know there are other antibiotics that the Pseudomonas can be treated with.  Take Care,Tammy
