Make a Plan to Stay Healthy

Most people with cystic fibrosis can lead active lives—depending upon the severity of their disease—with routine therapies and regular visits to a Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-accredited care center.

Drexel Adult CF staff partner with people with CF to develop individual treatment plans. These plans typically include a specialized diet, therapies to loosen the clogged mucus from their airways, and mucus-thinning drugs and antibiotics when needed.

By following a treatment plan developed, many people with CF can slow down the progression of their disease. A healthier body is better able to deal with bacteria and chronic lung infection.
