dont get too excited about the bronchitol guys. i know the pharmaxis mob from the chairman down to the doctors recruiting people for the study. the do the testing at my hospital on the cf floor. i did the bronchitol tests maybe 5 years ago now as a bunny! it doesn't seem to work as effectively as hypertonic saline if you can tolerate that. it also is very similar in effect to pulmozyme, though more hassle to inhale and the bigger particals dont penetrate as deep into the lungs as the fine mist with pulmozyme. seems to be very effective for the bronchiectasis patients though. i love phamaxis though, bought stacks of shares at 43cents as the bronchitol showed excellent results in determining when an asthma attack was triggered therefore allowing for better asthma prevention with more acurate dosage of preventors. that is their money ball- the asthma side of it. sold them for $3 a couple of years ago!! interested to hear from anyone who has done the trials and got better results than hypertonic saline or pulmozyme. bzzzt Blacky

Hi

Saw on the news tonight that this should be available here in Australia by the end of the year, not sure about other countries through. If we (my kids) get onto it I'll let you know.

A 5 - 6% increase in FEV1 is pretty good I think.The applicator looked easy to use and similar to ventolin. For my older kids it might mean that they are able to hold their good lung function for a few more years. My son (30yr old) might be able to play soccer again, which would mean a lot to him. His lung function is about 70%...so add the benefit of this drug and it's up around 75%.
