7% is best but some of us can't handle it so we use 3%. .9% is normal body saline and will not help you cough up gunk. I don't think it comes in other %. You need a prescription for 3 or 7%. Ntm's don't like salt so it is a really great airway clearance tool.

rits, you said "7% is best but some of us can't handle it so we use 3%." What does not being able to handle it involve.?

@thumperguy 7% saline kills avium bacterium. I will look for the saline chart located in the 'DiscussionBoard' list.

FYI- ordered 3% from Amazon without a prescription. I still didn’t get sputum up.
