CFTR Medication
If your cystic fibrosis is caused by genetic factors, then CFTR medications can be a possible option. CFTR stands for cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. These drugs would help correct some issues with protein development in your lungs’ cells. Before taking them, you need to have a genetic test. Make sure to take the drugs as directed to alleviate mucus production and improve the functions of your lungs. The three most common CFTR drugs include tezacaftor, lumacaftor, and ivacaftor. [6]
