Overview

Medical treatments for patients with cystic fibrosis has targeted following consequences of the defect such as GI and pulmonary mucus plugging and infection. Treatment include mucolytic agents (dornase alfa, N-acetyl-L-cysteine), airway surface rehydration (hypertonic saline, osmotic agents), anti-infective agents (for prophylaxis, eradication of early infection and suppression of chronic infection), anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs, inhaled corticosteroids, LTB4 receptor antagonists and Azithromycin) and potentiators of CFTR protein defect.

Medical Therapy

  • Treatment for cystic fibrosis has targeted following consequences of the defect such as GI and pulmonary mucus plugging and infection.
  • Medical treatments for patients with cystic fibrosis are include:[1][2][3]
