Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Hi Everyone, My 9 yr old son and I have a question regarding Tobi, which is the best nebulizer cup to do the tobi in? He's using a blue cup (we dont know the brand name) and the tobi treatment is taking at least 30 minutes, school mornings are getting tough! thanks, Carol Mc - mom to Tina 16 1/2 and Bobby 9 yrs old both w/cf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 We use the pari LC Plus. It is blue too. Used with a PARI compressor it takes about 10-15mins. but don't use the pare LC Star yet. One of the PARI reps told me there's not enough studies to show it works well with TOBI (star is the red one) Hope this helps tobi-which is best cup?

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 We use the PARI LC blue cup also, and it takes about 20 to 25 mins for my 3 year old.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Depending on what medicines you use depends on compressors that are safe. For instance, If you use a powerful compressor it could break the medicine down so it won't be as effective or is too powerful. Our Dr. won't prescribe an ultra sonic compressor because it's not safe with certain medicines. from P.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 HI, unless your doc tells you to use a sidestream (most don't, but some are starting to recommend it lately), then the best (and the one they tested tobi and pulmozyme on) is the LC plus nebulizers made by pari. they are dishwashable and last up to a year. It is not good to use the pari star, however, for tobi b/c it makes a finer mist and there is concern about higher bloodstream concentrations because of the finer mist (but I think that is mostly a concern when kids are on inhaled tobi and iv tobra at the same time. I know when it happens the kids are on tobi and inhaled tobi just by default of what month it is, then they do check blood levels more often) Take care, Jen > Hi Everyone, > My 9 yr old son and I have a question regarding Tobi, > which is the best nebulizer cup to do the tobi in?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Carol, We just started Tobi and they are having us use a Pari cup and it takes about the same amount of time. Deb A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
