Brinsupri follow-up

Does anyone take the albuterol nebulizer while taking the Brinsupri? Or have you stopped nebulizing ?

@charisscurry
Taking the new drug Brinsupri does not eliminate the need to continue airway clearance.

@charisscurry still use twice a day

@lilianna I heard a pulmonologist recently refer to 9% saline but further research shows 7% is the highest concentration routinely available commercially for inhalation.

Hi I'm kinda new here.
I am looking into getting the new drug brinsupri. My pulminologist has ok'd it.
I'm wondering what kind of copay to expect? I have medicare with fed blue.
Im just curious if I should pesue it.

Has anyone been advised to stay away from the sun while taking Brinsupri? The pharmacist mentioned this to me. But I don't see it mentioned anywhere.
I just started, nothing to report yet.

Thanks!

Great Ling! I do so hope it helps you. I read a post here where someone who had been taking it for 6 weeks stated they feel much better already. Keep us posted on how you do!
As far as stay away from the sun I have not read that anywhere yet. Our "online doctor" 🙂 (Google) did not list it either.

@scoop .9 is the lowest. 10% the highest. My doctor would not prescribe 10% even to try to produce a sputum sample because it’s too strong.

@cwal, Thanks! So far it seems the results are positive. I hope it works for me too. It was a long-awaited hope.

@pfists copays vary based on your plan, from a few bucks to several hundred dollars. The company does have an assistance fund. Good luck.
