Drug can stop mucus production in CF
November 19th, 2009Somer Love's typical day is a lot different from most people's.
Yes, she runs errands, hangs out with her family and friends and plays with her two pugs, Oscar and Lily.
But her day also includes taking more than 50 drugs and supplements, and dedicating nearly three hours to treatments that keep down the level of mucus that can fill her lungs because of cystic fibrosis.
"Most girls wake up early to curl their hair. I wake up to take a bunch of drugs," said Love, 30, who often punctuates the end of her sentences with laughter.
A new drug trial underway at the University of Utah could significantly cut back on Love's daily medical routine and improve her health and longevity.
