There is a range of possible treatments if you have lung CF. These may include regular antibiotics(tablets and /or nebulised antibiotics) to counter lung infections; mucolytics to make your sputum(mucus from your lungs) less sticky; asthma therapy, eg bronchodilators, to help treat blocked airways and breathing problems that may have been caused by infections; insulin therapy for diabetes to help your body break down sugar properly so you can maintain a healthy weight. Always ask your doctor for advice and read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine.
