I am starting TRIKAFTA. Anyone else?

I just received my first prescription. It says I should mix it into food or a drink. Does anyone have experience with this? I don’t want to waste it and I’m concerned that it may be difficult to hide the taste! I’m already so nauseated and I really want this to work. Any suggestions on things that will hide the flavor? I feel like I may be overthinking this, but it’s been years of trying to “tough it out “ and I’m just not feeling very tough.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Cystic Fibrosis Support Group.

Well I feel foolish. It turns out that the TRIKAFTA that I have is in tablets! I read the information too carefully, I guess!

@lostinkc The instructions with Trikafta are to take it with an adequate amount of fat. Frankly, I've never had any success pinning down someone on exactly how many grams of fat are needed at a minimum. The important thing is to take your Trikafta with a fat-containing snack or meal, and personally I try to get at least 9-10 grams or more ... a handful of nuts, or a fat-containing protein bar, or an egg and buttered toast, etc.
