Brinsupri experience after 3+ months

I've was on Brinsupri for 2 months and was feeling good, less coughing & mucus. Two weeks ago, I started coughing more with fatigue, almost like pre-Brinsupri. I sent a sputum sample To NJH and tested positive for a low load of Haemophilus Influenzae. I think the Brinsupri is still helping, but my doctor prescribed Augmentin to deal with the bacteria..

I think you were very wise to send in a sputum to check for an infection with your increase in symptoms. Hope you are feeling better. I've been on Brinsupri for 6 months now. I've found it takes time for this medication to fully "kick in" . I had ups and downs with it and wondered at times if it had stopped working also, but continued with taking it and the grinding routine of airway clearance. Now, I am thankful I did and did not stop taking it. The difference in my lungs is remarkable. Hang in there.
