How much does everyone nebulizer per session of the 7%? I can only get it in 4ml vials, and it takes me 3 of those to really get the gunk going. My pulmo has only written me a script for ONE 4ml vial per session, which just won't do it for me. Do you any of you use more? Is there some issue with doing 8 to 12 ml - is it too harsh to do that? (My 3% used to come in 15ml vials.) I don't start really getting the gunk up until 8 ml, would love to know if it takes anyone more than one vial. Thanks!!

I use 4ml and found that holding it in my lungs after a deep breath of the mist helps for me. Also bending forward and coughing helps to bring it up. Good luck!

Hi Sherri - Too bad we can't share. Only 2-3 ml is all I need to produce a lot of mucus. But what about if you begin you neb with the .9%, then finish afterward with the 7%? Just thinking out loud here. What do any of you other 7 percenters think? I would think over time 8012 ml of 7% might be irritating to throat, and possibly your lungs. A question for your doc?
