Taking Pulmozyme? Yes or No.

I have been taking it for as long as I can remember. I mean, seriously, I can not remember not being on it. I did it once a day until this past May, now I do it twice. I love the stuff. It works wonders. They wanna put me on hypertonic too now though, which I'm all for! I get to try it tomorrow to see how I handle it cuz it made my lungs hurt last time I tried it.

I was on the trial when I was a kid & have been on it ever since.

Just an FYI to those who take Pulmozyme and Hypertonic Saline. I was told that you should take them at separate times in the day, for example, hypertonic in the morning & pulmozyme at night. I was told that they don't work as well if you do them one right after the other. Ask around, but that's what I was told.

keefer,
interesting. we do hyper-sal 2x a day and were told the order: Xopenex, hyper-sal, and then pulmyzme. My understanding is that so long as in that order and a new cup for pulmozyme not an issue, but will ask about that next appointment. I'm pretty sure the CFF has a recommended order to for them (as well as antibiotics when on those).
