I was started on 0.9. a few years ago. Until I discovered this forum I knew nothing of 3% and 7%. I was never aware of any therapeutic response to 0.9%. When I became enlightened and got doc to Rx 7% the response was dramatic, unmistakable. Don't know about 3% but If I were you, knowing what I now know, I'd be tempted to try 7% if your doc is amenable. Good luck, Don

Are you putting it in a nebulizer? How many times a day?

I had to ask my pulmonary Dr to prescribe the saline to nebulize after reading about it on this forum. He prescribed the .9%, I think it was to just help thin the mucus. I requested he change the prescription to 3%, again after reading about it here. I seem to be doing ok. I just had a CT scan 1 week ago, and he said everything seems to be the same, not better but NOT worse. So as of now I’ll continue with the 3%.
