    Urgent question about Cayston/Altera neb

    I just started Cayston a week ago, and everything's gone great, though I'll admit the whole "sanitize after every use" is a bit annoying. I've been pretty house bound but come Monday I'm going to be starting my college studies. I have class from 1-5 pm, but need to do a treatment right before...
