Cystic fibrosis and the thick mucus secretions that characterize the disease may affect many organ systems in our body, principally our gastrointestinal tract and lungs, but also our bladder, liver, muscles and bones, and our reproductive systems. How do we fight this multi-prong attack? With multiple treatments, from antibiotics to battle chronic infections and pancreatic enzymes to aid digestion to chest therapy to loosen secretions, all designed to improve the quality and longevity of your life.
