i.v. Pseudomonas eradication therapy - dosage
Dear expert team, I would have a question about the right dosage concering an intravenous Pseudomonas eradication therapy. After an inhalative trial did not bring long-lasting sucess in order to eradicate Pseudomonas completely, an i.v. therapy had been planned with my physician at the last visit. At this visit, my physician asked me about my weight. After I said it was 57 kg, the following dosage had been proposed after a short moment of thinking: 3 x 2 g ceftazidim and 1 x 300g tobramycin for 14 days. Now I read in the literature, that much higher dosages of ceftazidim should be administered. Now I am insecure, if my physician had probably made a mistake when calculating the dosage according to my weight by head. Would you please check the dosage? What would be the usual dosage for a weight of 57kg in case of an eradication therapy? Many thanks for your help in advance!

Drying of the inhalation device of the e-flow
I have been given a dehydrator (normally one dehydrates fruit in it) in order to dry my inhalation device of the e-flow nebulizer after cleaning. Is that sensible or is it damaging? Some CF patients seem to use this....

Stomach pain after drinking milk
My 12-year-old CF daughter (with digestive problems since her birth) noticed that as soon as she had breakfast (cereals with cold milk, or a bowl of hot chocolate...) despite Creon, pain in the abdomen quickly occurs in the form of spasms. Do you think that the cow's UHT milk can be the cause of these pains? If yes do you have a solution to cure these pains other than remove the milk? Thank you in advance.

UV light
Does UV light change the surface of bacteria and can therefore be used as a lamp e.g. after cleaning of the nebulizer for irradiation?
