My dr at my cf center explained to me:

Zithromax used as a maintenance in those with CF is NOT used as an antibiotic.

<b>Instead, <u>the zithro breaks down the protein</u> that surrounds the mucus. This protein is what makes the mucus thick and sticky.</b>

However, I don't know if that applies to all bugs, or just PA. I have both PA and staph.

Sally, that is the reasoning as to why I was placed on Zithromax as well, it acts as an anti inflammatory too. Jenn

On a quick note, I generally refrain from taking any antibiotic, as they stifle your immune system, opening the door for infections of other areas. Antibioitcs cause your body to operate in a totally unnatural way. The only way I would take any antibiotic is if I absolutely require it, then I would flush it out of my system immediately after.

Avery has been on it long before she ever had pseudo, we were told it was to help reduce inflammation.
