Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are a number of different medications that can be used for cystic fibrosis.

His doctor would be able to provide you with a complete list.

Some of the possible medications that may be used are: (i1)pancrelipase- this is an enzyme and helps with digestion of protein, starch and fat
(2)vitamins- vitamin a , d, e and k
(3)bronchodilators- these are medications that open the airway eg albuterol
(4)mucolytic agents-these help to break down the mucus in the airways eg dornase alfa
(5)antibiotics

His doctor would be able to give you the specific ones he is taking.

I hope this helps
