@ling123 Ling look on the MUCOSOLVAN https://www.boehringer-ingelheim.cz/volne-prodejne-pripravky/mucosolvan/mucosolvanr website and make SURE China is an accepted country to purchase from.. there are SO many bogus drugs out there today .. we have to be VERY careful! PLUS make SURE you go to a reputable pharmacy and ONLY deal with them .. we can't be too careful what we put in our bodies .. "Do no Harm" as the saying goes! As an example I am going to Portugal in September to get my annual supply .. BUT Portugal is listed on the manufacturer's website .. those countries are the ONLY ones I have ever purchased from .. just do your "Due Diligence". PLUS I am saying the drug worked so well for me when the doctor prescribed it for me for pneumonia in Geneva .. AND it has helped me now .. BUT each of our bodies are different .. keep that in mind! Good Luck! Hugs! Katherine

@maryjo2sell, Mary Jo .. please read my warning/note to @ling Ling below .. it applies to all! Bogus drugs are all over! Be careful! Hugs to all! Katherine

@maryjo2sell, Mary Jo, Dummy Me! What is NAC?? Hugs! Katherine

Thank you for the advice. Actually I was thinking exactly the same thing. These days, you can never be too careful when buying something as important as medication in China. I will definitely make sure that I only inquire at reputable pharmacies there. Fortunately I can find a number of reputable pharmacies in Beijing. It would have been a lot more difficult if my family was located in smaller cities or rural areas.

And, yes, China is listed on the web site that you've provided the link to. It has its own site in Chinese language.

@ling123, Ling I would REALLY appreciate it if you can find out if 1. 75mg Time Release AMBROXOL/MUCOSOLVAN is available in Beijing 2. name/address/phone number of the reputable pharmacy you find. 3. The cost. Why? Because of my husband's health issues this is our last international trip .. ie ability to get the drug .. BUT my son travels extensively to Beijing on business! That could be a perfect resource for me in the future! If you find a good resource .. after your trip would you mind Private Messaging me with the above information? I would greatly appreciate it! Thank You! Hugs! Katherine

I was wondering the same thing about NAC. So I googled the acronym. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mary Jo. I think it stands for N-Acetyl Cysteine. http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-1018-n-acetyl%20cysteine.aspx?activeingredientid=1018

@katemn, I definitely will, Katherine. Your request will go on top of my to-do list for my next trip.

@katemn, Katherine, I think I will ask my sister-in-law to look into it now. She is pretty resourceful. I always think that if she can't find something then it doesn't exist.

Finally just got my nebulizer today with medications, salt water vapor and albuteral. They did some tests and got pretty good results with these 2 for clearing out mucous. 20 min. breathing, then 1/2 hour exercise, then acapella. Start tomorrow! xo Love to all
