Answer: I am glad that this medication will solve all of my problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dornase alfa is a drug which is used to reduce the viscosity of mucous by lysis of mucous. This helps in secreation of mucous from the lungs in condition of cystic fibrosis where excessive mucous develops in the lungs. This drug treatment is not the permenant treatment of cystic fibrosis. Hence, the patient must not relay on this temporary treatment.
