I'm a strong believer that if patients understand how a med works, they will be far more compliant with the med.

I found myself in 2003 getting too lazy to do my Pulmozyme. I was working my 1st job, time was limited. I didn't see an immediate impact of not taking the med, so I stopped it all together for about 3 months. The result? Ya, you guessed it... infection. hemoptasis. and lots of trouble.

I wish I would have had this video back then to help me understand what the heck this med does. I think those of you on Pulmozyme or those who are considering taking it will benefit from the video to understand the med's MOA:

I think this is a common response for many young people as yourself. When things are going good, denial of CF can be convienient.

Doctors should educate their patients about the actions and importance of drugs they are prescribing, but the patient is ultimately the one responsible for reading the drug info and educating themselve why some things are important, even if they so not have an immediate onset of action. If someone is too lazy to do this, then I can see why someone would be too lazy to do the drug.

Ya like I said in the Adults thread, denial wasn't my issue.

I was doing all my other nebs like Albuterol and TOBI twice a day, as well as my Vest twice a day.

I just figured Pulmozyme didn't work well for me since I didn't see an immediate impact when I stopped doing it <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Education is everything through, and I've been on pulmozyme for 3 years straight now, twice a day. it's a great drug.

Sasuka,

Can I ask (purely out of my own curiousity) how many nebs you are on each day? I often see you mentioning this one and that one, but get confused to how many you take. You just seem so well, I wondered what it was you did <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Albuterol, Intal (cromolyn Sodium), Pulmozyme, then I do HTS while using the Vest (still evaluating if this is the best for me or not) and colistin 1 month on, 1 month off.

I think the NAC that I take that important from Europe helps keep me well as well. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
