Pulmozyme

Just curious when you all do your Pulmozyme treatment. My daughter started a few months ago (she is only 5) to be proactive with her CF because she hasn't had many problems and we want to stay on top of things. I have noticed a difference and she is doing even better than before, but I am just wondering if there is a difference between morning and night treatments.

Thanks!!<img src="i/expressions/rose.gif" border="0">

my boyfriend does his Pulmozyme twice a day. It used to be once daily until a year ago when the doc recommended twice daily therapy. So he does it with his vest treatments... anyone else?

Thank you for replying! I had one mother tell me that it is better to do in the morning but I keep forgetting to ask my daughter's doctor because I have so many other questions.
All other replys are also welcomed!

We do it 2x a day with CPT but our cf doc said to do it in the morning after her xopenex/intal so that way when she is up and moving it will loosen the mucus up thru out the day

My 4 year old son always does his pulmozyme in the morning, right after his first breathing treatment with his vest.

my son did it 2 x day but now does something else similar to pulmozyne but he did it oen in morning and one at night before bed . The new one I do just before the vest each time.

Our doc said do in morning because it helps to loosen the mucous that accumulated during the night. I was doing it at night, but the doc said that it was not doing the best it could being given at night.

Kathie, do you and Samantha both have CF?

no just Samantha. But, I provide 99% of her care because her biological father has nothing to with her and my husband works so I can stay home with her. I have many of the symptoms, but i am only a carrier, but caring for samantha as much as i do sometimes makes me feel as though i do have just because i suffer with her.

I do calebs pulmozyme at night after he falls asleep. i feel he gets all of it that way. durring the day he fights me doing it and keeps pulling the mask off. so after he goes to sleep i put the mask on him and do it that way, so i know he is getting it all.. its expensive stuff, so i dont want any to go to waste <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">
