it's a great med, in my opinion. thins mucus which helps CFers cough it up easier. this keeps things moving and prevents infection.



I've been on it for well over 11 years and it's been fantastic. </end quote></div>


I AGREE! I've been on it since it first came out and think its helped me. I never ever skip a treatment though as my docs always "pounded" into me the fact that pulmozyme is one of those meds that you CANNOT miss even one dose or it losses its effectiveness (I dont' know where he got that, and maybe it was a ploy for me to keep using it, but when I'd miss any other treatment he wouldn't yell at me as much as if I missed a day of pulmozyme. LOL)

sure thing.

found on the pulmozyme Prescribing Information (PI): Phase III clinical study. <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.gene.com/gene/common/inc/pi/pulmozyme.jsp

"Patients with baseline FVC>85% may also benefit from twice a day dosing (see Table 1)."



and i made a mistake....it was 85% not 75%.
pretty significant sample size therefore I would consider the study pretty statistically significant.

I have no complaints about it. Although right now I am using albuterol instead, I asked my doctor what the difference is between Pulmozyme and albuterol/atrovent and he said Pulmozyme seems to work better in people that are stationary; don't tend to move much. But he said for the people that have little problems getting around, albuterol seems to do the job. Seeing is your daughter is young, I would back the doctor's decision and start her on Pulmozyme.

Albuterol and pulmozyme are totally different drugs for different things. They do totally different things and are not really interchangable. Albuterol is a bronchodilator and Pulmozyme is a mucus thinner.
