@ursala7 I'm 72 with a 10-year history of MAC and 25-year history of bronchiectasis. I've been on the medication for one month and although I've had no side effects I have not seen significant changes to my symptoms. I have heard from many that it can take to eight months so I will continue.
@ursala7 I’d encourage you to access the” Brinsupri Follow-up after 3+ months”forum for encouraging information from those who started Brinsupri earlier. I’m 75 and posted yesterday, but there are many others too. Jeanne
@ursala7 l turned 90 this year and started Brinsupri last October. Being in month 6 I’m finally seeing results, especially thinner mucus and less coughing. I went to NJRC in 2003. Diagnosed with bronchiectasis, Mac and nocardia and put on the big 3. Have been on big 3 four different times plus pick lines 3 times. Tried arakayce and totally lost my voice for a few days. Quit the big 3 a couple years ago as it was affecting my eyesight. On Zithromax as needed til I started Brinsupri so not an especially fun journey for me. Any improvement for me at this age and stage is a gift. I live in an apartment and fortunately, still drive.

I’m 75 and been on Brinsupri 3 months. Game changer for me. I only cough when doing clearance and gunk is so much easier to get up. I’ve had no side effects and feel GREAT!
