Brensupri
I started taking the newly approved BE medicine Brensupri in February of 2026. I'm interested in any feedback from others who are also using this medicine.
Thank you

Tim,
Hello! I haven’t taken Brinsupri yet but I have heard a lot of positive results recently. Brinsupri takes an average of 6 weeks or more to show results.

Thanks for your reply. I've been on it for about 10 weeks now. Not sure what to expect in terms of results other than the claim that it will reduce flare ups. I've noticed no side effects as yet, so that is good. However, I cannot say it has reduced my daily symptoms (mucus, coughing, etc.) at all. I am hoping someone else may be on it as well so I can hear their experience with Brinsupri.

I started talking it & developed headaches shortly after starting. I also had severe GI issues. Had anyone had this?

I am noticing one side effect....... dry skin. I began using OTC healing lotion which helps with that one.

Maybe have blood work drawn for vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Medications can sometimes causes deficiencies in these areas. With that said, deficiencies in some of these areas can cause dry skin.
I have been on it for 4 months I have dry skin and have one reapirtory flareup. I agree mucus production not affected. Coughing a little less.

I have been on it since it first came out. Truthfully I haven’t noticed much of a change. Still have flareups and just got over pneumonia. (One of the side effects is respiratory infection). Thinking of going off.

Hello!
I am sorry that you are not experiencing good results with Brinsupri. Please keep us updated after you discuss your plans with your Pulmonologist on whether or not to continue the drug.
My wife says I seem to be coughing more vs. less since taking Brensupri. I'll discuss with my pulmonologist when I see her in July.
Tim,
Hello! I am sorry to read your update. I would suggest to reach out to your Pulmonologist to update her on your coughing, by phone or the patient portal instead of waiting until your appointment in July.
