The therapeutic requirements of patients with CF are highly complex. Many patients require continuous care at home with many prophylactic medications, such as nebulised or oral antibiotics, pancreatic enzymes, mucolytic agents, vitamin and nutritional supplements as well as daily physiotherapy and a healthy lifestyle with adequate nutrition and exercise. These treatments are intensified and become more complicated during the exacerbation of the disease. Throughout its evolution, other pathologies associated with CF may also occur which require extra treatment regimens.
