DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide in case of CF
- Question
- Acoording to Dr. Hartmut Fischer, DMSO is a channel opener and acts against scarring (CF?!). In the laboratory they are working on the chloride channels with DMSO. It keeps the chloride channel open.
Does it make sense to use DMSO orally or transdermally in case of CF?
Are there any studies about this?
Many thanks - Answer
- Hello,
the substance is used medically, I was not able to find useful study results about CF, so that one should in no case use it "for no reason". Thre is data about the usage of other inflammation blockers (ibuprofen), that had as a consequence that this therapy has been integrated into the guidelines. But also here it is true (as it is for all therapy elements), that this has to be discussed with the treating CF team in charge, in order to avoid unwanted effects or interactions and complications.
Best regards,
