Sputum sample when on Brinsupri

I'm in the same boat. I'm getting very little sputum since i've been on the brinsupri. I just finished several weeks of infusions for the pseudomonas, that flared up My pulmonologist wants a sputum test to make sure that they've backed off. Put, I've tried and tried, and nothing's coming up. I use acetylstine twice a day.And now she's added saline, 7 % . I'm getting a tiny bit but not enough for a sample. So I'll keep trying.Anybody got any tips I'm open.

@vstankie Same issue here. When I was at NJH, I could barely produce anything while nebulizing 7% saline, so the RT had me try 10% saline. I did produce more but it was also a little irritating while nebulizing. I asked my NJH ID doctor if I could get a script for 10% saline, just in case I have problems in the future.
