I was just wondering (parents of cfer's) what anibiotics your children are on, what dose and also for how long?
I posted my answer at the top, i'm just curious. Her docs want to keep her on permanent antis for atleast 5 yrs as a preventative treatment.
Craig, i see your son is on a similar dose. Are you aware of how long the docs want him on anties.
Again, just curious!
Thanks guy's.

My daughter is on a preventative antibiotic, been on it since she was diagnosed with CF at 6 weeks. It's called Cefradine. She takes 500 mg of it twice a day, in capsule form mixed with apple puree. She also goes onto oher back-up antibiotic every now and then if she has a cold, only with a cough though. This one's called Cefaclor, and she takes it three times a day 250 mg. She has also been on Colomycin for almost 12 months. Nebs it twice a day, mixed with saline. Also takes vitamin e, multivitamins, and 2 capsules of salt a day. Any more questions? I live in UK by the way.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
