Re: Re: nebs saline - Pulmozyme

I agree - I think it was Suzanne - saline works, is safe if used

sensibly - ie build up strength of saline %, have water on hand. if

start to get dry throat, have break by using Mucomyst or something -

or reduce the %. Salt can dry out the mucosa lining of bronchi etc

but obviously if doing 5 mls 4 x day you're more likely to have

drying effects than 3-4 mls 1/day. Common sense really...

just though I'd throw in my tuppence-worth...

I am prescribed 5 mls inhaled twice a day. Works well.

Keep well everyone. Theresa
