Ok I know this has been written about to death but I had a question. In Chicago Magazine a woman wrote about a medicine that is being tested that would thin mucus significantly. She said that it is currently under testing but that an aresol has been approved.

What is she talking about? Is it this? I thought GSH was a pill. I am confused and probably sound horrible uneducated and dumb right now. Sorry!

It is probably the new drug from Inspire. It is a chloride channel blocker. I believe it is called Denufosol. It is currently in phase 3 trials.

The article didn't say what medication it was? That's odd.

I'm not sure either. GSH does come in oral and inhaled forms (though not an aerosol, you have to neb it). The inhaled type is buffered and produces a mild hypertonic solution. We use inhaled for our son and it makes all the difference in the world. We are way below the protocol levels and it works to keep his lungs clear. When he misses it a couple days we can tell a huge difference. Since using it he has grown/gained better, hardly gets a cold and goes through them easily if he does, and has had 3 non-PA cultures in a row (cultured and treated once with TOBI at 15 months). We are pleased. Oral and inhaled were being studied and listed on the CFF trial page, but it is no longer there. Not sure if they are still in progress or if funding became an issue.

I'd like to know what this article refers to as well, since we are always keeping our eyes and ears open.
