Our Wal-mart pharmacy carries it. Also, any pharmacy can order it. The problem is that it costs like $4,000 and most don't want to. Try a large chain. (Walgreens, Wal-mart, etc.) Deeper pockets.

Here is the link for the Tobi. It also has info about the neb and machine. Just print off the site and hand it to your DME and pharmacist. That's what I did!

I did a search on the web for inhaled tobi, and found the manufacter's website for the inhaled tobi. http://www.abouttobi.com/ There is a picture of the box and the individual vile right on the first page. Maybe you can show this to your phamarcy. I hope this helps, good luck!

Try the hospital pharmacy, too. They carry the harder to find medicines, although, they may only provide the meds to pts who were discharged within a certain short time period . . .
On the pharmacy -- I had one (the hosp pharmacy, actually!!) totally screw up a prescription and write the instruction for 10x the correct dose (it was supposed to be 0.2 ml and they wrote the instructions for 2ml!!!) Be sure you know from your dr what to give!
