Morning! I have received much help here! I finally found a functional doctor and I like her so far! I could not get anyone to prescribe the glutathione but she will do so but some confusion on normal dosing for nebulizer and also which pharmacy to use. I thought I saw someone got it from Mayo pharmacy and I called and they said YES but she said she called the compounding Mayo pharmacy and they told her NO they do not do glutathione for the nebulizer. ??
Nan here has been a big help and her dose looks to be .5 mil/200 mg daily. (her Functional Medical group compunds/sells it) Can some of you share your dosage for nebulizer AND where do you safely have it compounded? I am in Houston area but many places ship including Mayo. Thank you!!

Hi Kathleen,
I moved your follow-up question to the discussion you originally started about glutathione
- Glutathione: What dosage do you use? Where do you get it? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mac-abscessus-bronchiectasis-and-aspergillus-glutathione/

I did this so you can reconnect with @nannette @wolfplanetzero and others. I'm also tagging @onamission @glendamoseley1 @dc1950, who have mentioned using or asking about glutathione.

Quoting @sueinmn from another related discussion here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/612379/

"Glutathione and NAC are closely related, and I cannot find any definitive information, but would conclude from my reading that use of both is unnecessary as NAC converts to glutathione in the liver as it is digested. I did find a couple of cautions stating that use can lead to elevated magnesium levels, low blood pressure, decreased clotting after surgery, altered effectiveness of diabetes and heart meds."

This study looks like it helps explain the relationship between NAC and glutathione.
