do you have idea about dornase alfa uses?

Accepted Answer

Thick chest mucus: Dornase alfa, called pulmozyme, (dornase alfa) is a medicine that makes lung mucus thinner and easier to cough up. It was developed for patients with cystic fibrosis and is used every day for months or years. It is not used for short-term colds or bronchitis. It gets into the lungs by breathing in a mist of the medicine from a nebulizer machine.  Treatments usually take 10-20 minutes.

Question 2

where should dornase alfa be stored?

Accepted Answer

In the refrigerator: There should be specific instructions when you get a new prescription as to where to store it (what temperature and for how long), and whether light damages it. There should also be an expiration date to tell you when it will no longer work if you keep it too long. Don't use it afterthat date. If you have questions, ask your pharmacist or go to the web site shown in the package insert.

Question 3

is it safe to take pulmozyme (dornase alfa) while pregnant or breastfeeding?
