Others have shared that they needed to add blood pressure medication when Brinsupri raised their blood pressure. It really is a balancing act.

For me, it means weighing declining lung function and quality of life with more coughing and sputum against adding another medication and increasing monitoring like dental and dermatology visits.

I have needed closer skin checks. After considering the risks and benefits, I feel the improvement in lung function, less coughing and phlegm, more energy, and greater stability make it worth it.

Each of us has to decide that with our doctors.
