I get my hyp saline from Cf Service Pharmacy. My doctor ordered it for me. I inhale while I'm doing my vest.
I feel that hyp saline is one of the biggest things that is helping my life-I even feel that it is one of the main things that has enabled me to go into pregnancy b/c my PFTs are so much higher after a year of its use.
You just inhale it in a regular cup like your other meds. It takes about 15-20 mins to inhale. I love it, I cough up so much more mucus.

I get it from my CF center pharm. I stopped using it though. It was just to much for me to handle, to irritaitng. My doctor said we would try it again when I'm not so sick. I hear it works great for people who can tolerate it.

I love the stuff, I get it through my cf pharmacy as well, and I use the 7% stuff, this stuff has raised my pfts up from a 65 to an 89, and hoping they go higher. It use to make me cough all the time but now its every once in awhile it never made me cough "junk" up but I diffanatley felt the junk moving around. Good luck, Im sure youll like it as well.

Sure makes me cough up a great deal of junk. I've been on it since the spring. I don't know what percent I use. I mix the 10 percent and .9 percent. I use about the same amount of each every day. I know I'm using enough though because I'm coughing out so much stuff.

I have noticed that I do well on it too, especially with getting that gunk up and out of my chest. I never really had a productive cough growing up (but that's more than likely because of my particular progression of the disease.) Now that I'm older and prone to more lung infections, I had a renewed interest in doing my airway clearance as completely as possible.

I've been on HS for 8 months.

Here are some articles if you want more info about HS in general or my personal take on it.
