Hypertonic Saline (again)

mom2lillian · Nov 2, 2007

I get my 7% compounded into individual vials of 10mL so I can choose how much I want to do which my clinic varies from 4-10mL depending on person.

I like doing it, mine does not make me cough up a bunch all at once as others ahve described (it does if I am gunked up fro some reason) but I am not overly productve lately but I do get 'little bits' that 'float up' throughout the day and when I do get a quantity instead of being actively coughed up it seems to just come right up.

My dr only use it or pulmozyme not both but I requested both. THe months that I am not on TOBI I use it instead of TOBI to keep my treatment schedule the same. The months that I am on TOBI I usually do some on friday night and the weekend as a 'bonus' treatment.
