    Prednisone in 4 year old--CRAZY??

    10 mg is actually a pretty low dose of pred. Most adults wouldn't be on a dose that low until the end of a taper, unless it was an extended low dose regimine. At any rate, sounds like for your son right now the risks outweigh the benefits. I would be hesitant to write off prednisone forever...

    AZLI study

    Pulmozyme (DNase) is a mucolytic, which means it is prescribed to attack and thin out mucus in the lungs. It doesn't treat "symptoms" or even infections, per se, but it does help reduce the viscosity of mucus so that it can be coughed out and the bacteria has fewer places to set up camp. There...

    AZLI study

    I am in the AzLi study and also have the eflow. I actually have two b/c I have an additional one for tobra that I got through foundation care after my doc gave me the Rx. Eflow actually is used with tobra (NOT the old TOBI, this has to be specially mixed) and other drugs (including HTS) for some...

    Still no better

    Sonia, for what it's worth I am on those drugs frequently for PA and those are the doses I typically do. IV tobra more than every 24 hours is really hard on the system, and every 8 is about the max for merrem too I think. Mel has a point with the suggestion of a 3rd drug. If you feel you can...
