Cystic Fibrosis Treatments
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) treatments focus on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Common therapies include airway clearance techniques, which help remove mucus from the lungs, and inhaled medications that open airways and reduce inflammation. Patients may also take pancreatic enzyme supplements to aid digestion.
In addition to these therapies, some patients benefit from targeted medications like CFTR modulators, which address the underlying genetic defect in CF. Regular check-ups with a healthcare team are essential to monitor lung function and overall health, ensuring timely adjustments to treatment plans as needed.
