New Meds for Trevor

Well,  three weeks after our CF Clinic visit....we now have Trevor's new medicine. He will now be on a concentrated dose of Albuterol along with the 3% hypersal. This hypersal replaces the 7% hypersal that Trevor did not tolerate very well. The other advantage is that the 3% hypersal can be mixed directly with the concentrated albuterol which cuts down the amount of time needed for the treatment. Why did it take so long to get the new meds? When I originally took the prescriptions to our regular pharmacy......they delayed telling me that these prescriptions had to be filled at a "specialty pharmacy" according to our insurance company. So I had to call back the clinic....who in turn called the specialty pharmacy and from that point on it was just a waiting game. I hope the new meds go well...I will keep you informed. He is still taking his Creon 24 (3-4 with meals, and 2-3 with snacks ), periactin ( 2 a day to help him keep a healthy appetite), azithromycin ( 3 days a week to prevent lung inflammation ), and his CF Source multi vitamin. ( once a day ).
