<P> </P>
<P>there is also the Mcmaster cf pharmacy in HAMILTON.....dont know what strenght they use...</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I wanted to try 7% but dr. said too irritating.  <EM><U>so anyone do you find the 7% more productive in removing the mucus?</U></EM></P>

<P> </P>
<P>my dr. says though 7% too irritating....but maybe i cud use it 3 x a week instead of every day....we ll she what she says...</P>

<P>wow and saline so much cheaper than pulmozyme.....how much do you pay for the 7% hypertonic.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>we pay 3.50 ish for a 250 ml bag....use the bag for one week then discard.  how is yrs dispensed.....in ontario we have an excellent goverment cf prograam thru the cf clinics.  where we receive many antibiotics and vitamins etc free thru the program...but hypertonic saline for some reason is not included...but thank goodness expensive amikacin bactrim cipro are........tobramycin is covered but not tobi....then my husbands employer has  an excellent work plan that pays everything else.....</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I used to go to a hospital in hamilton st. joes....and they were taking the saline out of bag putting it in lil glass bottles and charging me 50$ for 200 ml..!!!  and I had to pay for it .  it wasnt a cf clinic and they they had never dispensed it....so i paid that ridiculous price for 3 or  4 </P>
<P>yrs til i switched to toronto....lol.....really y am i laughing</P>

Hi. Its actually my 2 yr.old daughter that has cf. She goes to sick kids. She just finished up the isisis study and I decided to.put her on the 7% I ordered 3 boxes (60 vials *4 ml) and as you know its not covered so it cost 240. Now I am trying to find a way to get it from the US

Thanks for all the replies. The 7% doesnt se em to irritate her, though she does squirm a little bit more versus the 0.9% In order for tye Cf pharmacy to fill the prescription the Canadian doctor needs to also have an american licensee that is kept up to date.
