Do you really want to know about my experience with inhaled Aztreoman? It wasnt good.
Since it was the only trial that allowed those with b.cepacia , i decided to try it. The first time i tried it, it made me so short of breath even after doing albuterol right before hand.I'm not sure if it was the medicine or the Eflow itself that made me short of breath but the mist was so dense that I would cough and cough and could not continue with the treatment. It got to the point where i was not getting even half the medicine in me, so i dropped out of the study. Almost a year later, i decided to try again. I still had some shortness of breath while inhaling it thru the eflow but i pushed myself to keep doing the treatment. A few days later i had a few small hemop episodes and a few more days later a large hemop that required an embolization and then 2 more embolizations shortly after that. Obviously my Dr. took me off that study. Now of coarse the hemops could all be coincidence and have nothing to do with the AZLI or the Eflow, but i dont think i'll ever use either of them again.
I used to do other drug studies before i was cepacia + , but most now a days require you to be cepacia neg. to enroll. I do however do every other type of study that comes around whether it be online or telephone, or thru mail.
