StSch Check-In 10/24/2025
StSchUpdate on Brinsupri after one month. After being on Brinsupri for two weeks I was noticing a change in my coughing pattern. I was actually coughing more but bringing up less sputum and what was coming up was smaller wads of sputum. At this point in time I had a sinus surgery and one of the post-op meds war prednisone, 20mg once a day for five days. After the second day for taking the prednisone with the Brinsupri I was not coughing or bringing up sputum anymore and now after a full month and no Prednisone I'm feeling normal with no signs of bronchiectasis and loving life.Brinsupri can be very expensive depending on your insurance coverage so be prepared. But if you're older and on Medicare with Part D and a Medicare Advantage Plan your total med output for the year is only $2,100.00 (2026) so the Brinsupri is basically free. Please check with your Pulmonologist, Insurance company and make sure you're properly set up with Medicare. You can lead a NORMAL LIFE AGAIN.
