New drug for CF. It's called Kalydeco. "It's what insulin is to a diabetic" is one description of it. Follow the link to see more.

I'm not sure what strain of CF it treats or even if it's the same as the Ivacator drug with a different name. Once I find out (which will be later on today) I will post it up. It seems to help in the same way as the initial drug. But im not sure.
If it is a second drug then thats two in the last year. This is crazy stuff.
