He does take prevacid and ursodiol for GERD, and is on TOBI, Cipro (for pseudamonas) and the usual Pulmozyme, enzymes, etc, etc, etc.
How are these related? How can we prevent pleurisy? Will it reappear later as we fight CF? Will having had it affect his long term prognosis?
s when necessary. Nebulized mucolytics (meds that break down mucous) such as Pulmozyme and mucomyst are helpful. Chest physiotherapy is also important to help loosen the mucous in the lungs as well.
Asthma is separate, it is bronchoconstriction, with inflammation that is reversible with medication that opens up airways such as albuterol.
I also neb mucolytics, meds that break down the mucous so that I can pass it easier. I take pulmozyme for this, but also take hypertonic saline (also nebbed) and in the distant past, Mucomyst.
It is pretty effective I believe. What nebs does your doc have you on? I am on pulmozyme (breaks down the DNA of the mucous, thinning it), hypertonic saline...also breaks it down, TOBI for my pseudomonas (if you culture pseudo, this might be a good drug for you, it is a nebulized form of tobramycin, I rotate 28 days on and 28 days off..it does a fairly good job at keeping my pseudo at bay) as well as pulmicort and Xopenex. Lots of nebs....
Please, anyone could give a hint how to get ENTACAVIR at a good price? This medicine has been very effective to me and I'll have to take it "ad aeternum", BUT it is very expensive. Is there any program or any cooperative group buyer to reach and get some discount? I appreciate any info whoch could help me.
Thanks a lot.
Really a good news. I will like to know the possible price for the drugs and which company are going to be given authorize to deliver the drugs.
just called to tell me it went up 5000 dollars this month. Have to get approved again ! Thought price would be dropping or at least hold steady . Heck of a thing once treatment has started . Should be a price freeze or something . Walgreen spec pharm is where my ins . Makes me go and they won't accept coupon from solvadi .
No, I'm not blame them for everything. But some of them could charge a price less abusive, after all are the same corporations that are profiting here in my country charging the amount I told you ($33).
Why do you have to pay 5 times more?
hi..please can anybody tell me how much is the price of baraclude 500 mcg in india?and also tenofovir..thank you very much for your help..
I received my new script today and noticed the price listed this month was $33,600 In past scripts it showed $28,000 I was under the impression that there was pressure to lower the cost. Thank god for the help of the foundation.
One is Hypertonic saline (HTS) 3%- docs also prescribe 7% as well sometimes. I also nebulized pulmozyme which breaks down the DNA of the mucous so that it is thinned even more. For my pseudomonas (did the docs ever culture your sputum? If not, have them do that so that you know what is growing in there. If it is pseudo, then there are meds that can be given to help decrease the colonies), I nebulize tobramycin on a 28 day on/28 day off schedule.
