Antibiotics fight infections caused by bacteria. They should not be used to treat infections caused by viruses (such as the flu) or types of fungi, which include yeasts and molds.

Before you can walk a mile in a person with CF's shoes, you have to put on a nebulizer.

When your life is already jam-packed with nebulizing medications, why would you add one more?

On my first international trip, I found myself in an interrogation room explaining my port to security officers.

I am both excited and scared that my son will be old enough to try Trikafta when he turns 12 later this year. In some ways, I can hardly wait to see how he will benefit. But I also know that he might experience side effects, and I don't want him to have any setbacks.

As a CF pharmacist, I've received many questions about complementary and alternative medications and supplements over the years. Although I am admittedly not the first person to “jump at the idea,” I always make sure to stay informed about available products and listen to my patients without judgement so that we can partner together to develop the best treatment plans for them.

When the news of the Trikafta™ approval came out, I was simultaneously excited for people with CF that would benefit and disappointed that another new medicine is passing me by. But, hearing about the next wave of research into a cure for ALL people with CF has me looking forward to the future.
