Just yesterday I spoke with my Pulmo Specialist. Knowing that I am starting Brinsupri, he brought up the lessening of sputum issue saying there is no evidence that Brinsupri is making it harder to get the mucus up but rather it is decreasing the production of it. He brought it up as if that had become an issue or question with other patients. There was one person on this forum who mentioned that their CT showed plugs after being on Brinsupri but otherwise no one has mentioned that? I should think if it is decreasing the need to cough up as much mucus that one would also be feeling better.

@irenea8 Irene....not sure if you have posted how often you change the tube on the compressor to the neb cup. I think many people change it in different lengths of time of use.
I run the compressor for a few minutes to hopefully dry it out. I never thought about it until today....what could possibly grow in the tube????
