I get 9% sodium chloride from Amazon. Pack of 100 for 18.92. Came with first nebulizer. It is easy to order and comes to your door. I am home bound so can't get out and shop. I hope this helps someone. I also use raw Manuka Honey. This isn't honey most of us are used to and it's a bit pricey but it really brings up mucus. It may not work for everybody but certainly works for me. We must get healthier. 🙂

I'm glad to hear you are using saline to help clear your airways, but could you check the label on the box? I don't think there is a 9% saline solution on the market - but rather 0.9%, which is not very strong. If you have MAC and are trying to tamp it down without antibiotics, 7% is the recommended strength, or 3% if you cannot tolerate 7%.
Some people also alternate 3% and 7% or mix the two together, which yields 5% (You can safely keep the open vials to use within 24 hours.)
