How often do you do HS a day?

the script says 2 times a day for me, but I was just wondering if doing it 3 times on occasion - like if I feel really congested and want help getting stuff up - if 3 times would be too much.

Just thought I would see if anyone knew anything about this. I figured since it isn't a "med" med that it would be okay to maybe take it an extra time to help loosen things up, but I didn't know so thought I would ask.

Happy Holidays,
Lindsey

I would think as long as you can tolerate it that its ok. Just be aware of any potental airway reactons &/or hemoptysis if it ends up being too much.

You should be able to take it as needed, because of its simple makeup. It not like your mdi's or maybe your pulmozyme, that hae active ingridients that take time. But be careful of irritation.

Mine says three times a day and I only do it once because I can't handle much more. I get so sweaty and so worn out that I can't do it more.

My daughters script says two times a day for 10 minutes each time.

It's probably a good idea to check the the doctor, but it seems to me that since it was "discovered" because of the surfers in Austraila with CF out there breathing the salty air.... simply breathing it in (if tolerated) shouldn't be harmful.

Let us know what you find out if you ask your doctor

i do HS twice a day(7%). when i feel like i need a third treatment i never do 7%, i always make the third treatment 3%. i find 3% works much better than doing 7%. 7% 3 times is just too strong for me.
