Orkambi or Trikafta?

Hello,
My 14-year-old son has cystic fibrosis. Soon, in Romania, we will benefit from Orkambi and Trikafta medicines.
From your experience, do we need to start with Orkambi and then move on to Trikafta or it is best to start directly with Trikafta?
Are there any rules that recommend Orkambi or Trikafta?
Thank you.

  1. Hi , Thanks for reaching out! I'm glad to hear that your son will have access to Orkambi and Trikafta soon – that's very exciting. This is a question I would bring up to his care team to ensure he's getting the right treatment. Keep us updated with how he's doing if possible. I'll be thinking of you both! - Sarah, Cystic-Fibrosis.com Team Member

    1. I've read one thread where a woman has a lot of side effects after Trikafta, you should talk to the doctor.

      Please read our rules before posting.
