    RT Management:
    In patients with impaired hepatic or renal function, appropriate monitoring is
    recommended during therapy
    .
    Patients should be counseled that antibacterial drugs including Aztreonam for
    injection should only be used to treat bacterial infections. They do not treat viral
    infections (e.g., the common cold).

    You should use a bronchodilator (eg, albuterol) before you use Aztreonam
    Inhalation. Contact your doctor for instructions on how and when to use a
    bronchodilator before using Aztreonam Inhalation.

    Do not use Aztreonam Inhalation if it is cloudy, contains particles, or if it has been


    stored at room temperature for more than 28 days.

    To clear up your infection completely, use Aztreonam Inhalation for the full
    course of treatment. Keep using it even if you feel better in a few days.

    Aztreonam Inhalation is usually used for 28 days on the medicine followed by at


    least 28 days off the medicine. Follow the dosing schedule given to you by your
    doctor carefully.
    If you miss a dose of Aztreonam Inhalation, use it as soon as possible. If it is less
    than 4 hours until your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your
    regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.
