I had started on it in July and it caused an
exacerbation so I stopped. My doctor had me try again in August but 3x a week instead of daily. That was doable for a while but in December, my breathing was so bad that I had to stop. I have chronic bronchitis (copd) along with the bronchiectasis and my decrepit lungs do not like nebulized drugs.
It apparently did get rid of psuedomonas and klebsiella although the psuedomonos may be back again.
