Hypertonic Saline
- Thread starter anonymous
- Start date
Hi Charlotte
I neb 7% hypertonic saline twice a day. I started about a month ago. Although I do not like spending the time doing this in the morning and at night I find that I actually look forward to doing the treatments because I do feel like I have been benefiting by them. I feel like I can breath deeper and I cough very little to not at all through the night since starting the treatments. Hopes this helps.

Me me. Twice a day, every other month, 7%. (The alternating months, I'm on nebulized Colistin instead... and I also take nebulized Pulmozyme every day, period).

I take Hypertonic Saline twice a day 7%. Is colistan also another name for coly mycin?
Hi,
rigth now I neb Hypertonic Saline 7% ...(10-15ml) at evening, also in the morning I neb 15ml HS plus 15 ml 0.9% NaCl, at afternoon I neb 2.5 ml Pulmozyme, all in Pari eFlow Rapid (different european version, I recommend it). Hypertonic Saline helps me to expectorate a lot...

I've been doing it (7%) for a week, I really like it. Am a tobi, pulozyme and colistin user as well.

i haven't been disciplined enough to take it twice a day. i work full time, so sometimes certain therapies get skipped for that extra ten minutes of sleep in the morning ... i neb 7% once a day & it is such powerful stuff. for getting the gunk out all at one time, this is the best answer. for me, it has been more effective than anything else at bringing it all up quickly.

well I personally like Tobi much much much better than colistan. When I was on Colistan it made me short of breath so I asked the doc to put me on something else and so he put me on Tobi. I was so thankful.

Amy:
truthfully, I think they are pretty comparable except the tobi is premixed and the coliston I get is not, which I know is a small thing..but you know if I'm given the opportunity to complain I'm probably going to <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> i do tobi one month and coliston the next.

I personally like the Colistin much better. It's harder to play with because it isn't premixed like the Tobi. But I hated Tobi and I like the Colistin a lot.
You can use the same nebulizer you use for anything else, when nebulizing hypertonic saline. It comes in little "twist the top off, dispense the med, throw the plastic away" vials, same as Pulmozyme or Tobi does. And it's easily stored. Regular room temperature, no fridge needed.
