rits -- I read with great interest about the.09% saline being as effective as 7 or 9%. My doctor at Mayo's in Rochester has told me the same but I didn't know if that is right. I've always used 3% (and don't have any trouble with that. But he did say the 0.9% was just as effective. Perhaps there are others who do not agree with this?????

The report says that a higher concentration of saline was more effective in cystic fibrosis patients. That's probably where the recommendation to use 7% came from. This study shows that non cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis saline treatment is different and .9% works just as well for us.
