That is so interesting.. I honestly believe more and more drugs that are on the market are going to be found to be effective in treating some symptoms in CF..</end quote></div>

Many drugs are already being tested and have been listed on the CFF website for years, including Levitra and Zocor.

I've had info on Levitra and CF on my blog for several years now (see what you're missing when you don't read my blog!!!!!!!!!!)

Eeeek! one quick google search brings this puppy up with enough lawsuits and FDA warnings to resink the titanic!

It's actually a drug normally prescribed for type 2 Diabetes, but is known to cause frequent heart attacks in anybody with any sort of heart disease. Many of us, through years of breathing through dodgy puffers, have strained hearts! Oh wait, we can take some heart meds then to ward off heart attacks huh? Add drug number 6,574,123 to our concoction regime.

I also don't like the idea of taking a diabetes drug for a diabetes i don't have, on the premise that it 'may or may not' improve inflammation, depending on my specific genetics and modifier genes (which can't be quantified) and this 'possible improvement in inflammation", can only be assessed by an IGE test anyway, which doesn't tell us where any inflammation is coming from anyway. I could have an inflamed liver from all the tequila i drink pushing up my IGE, while my lungs are just fine, IGE test isn't gonna clear up that wee gem!! Same goes if the inflammation lowers, we still don't know where it's lowered from!

I say be careful folks and do your own extensive research before considering this one. Me? I'm gonna find myself a nice sharp serving fork and stab myself repeatedly in the left eyeball. I think it will be safer <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

Interesting, but No, I don't think a doc is going to be prescribing this today for CF......as we all know just because it worked good for mickey mouse, doesn't mean it would do the same for us
