Community Thoughts on Trikafta

There is no question about it: Trikafta has been a game-changer for the cystic fibrosis community. Since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2019, Trikafta has been one of the hottest topics on CF message boards, Facebook pages, and forums. In December 2020, Trikafta, Symdeko, and Kalydeco were even approved for a selection of rare mutations as well.

Now, more than a year has passed since some CFers have started taking Trikafta, and researchers are learning more and more about it every day. We reached out on our Cystic-Fibrosis.com Facebook page to ask our community members about side effects they have experienced while taking Trikafta. Some results have been incredible – the term "miracle drug" has certainly rung true for certain people. Unfortunately, the opposite has also occurred – some CFers have experienced side effects that kept them from continuing the treatment.

We would love to hear more from you! Please answer these questions to let us know how you feel about Trikafta.
