About N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) and finding it

Hello Roz. I also have Bronchiectasis and Chronic Pseudomonas. It sounds like you are nebulizing NAC? But if NJH are not supportive who gave you the prescription? I would think nebulizing it would be more effective than pills. I am not able to use Tobramycin due to side effects unfortunately. I only nebulize saline 7% twice a day and glutathione once every other day. I tried taking NAC pills but they give me insomnia. I found that Mucinex works better for me with less side effects. Have you been treated with any other antibiotics?

Hello Irene, Thank you for answering me. I have learned a lot from reading what people say and how they have dealt these diseases. To answer your question, my local pulmonologist gave me the prescription but I did the research and asked for it. I went to NJH because I wanted better care even if it was in a different state and I have definitely gotten it. The doctors at NJH just were not convinced that NAC was really helpful. I don't know about glutathione but I will look it up. Have you found it to be helpful and if so how? I have not been treated with other antibiotics. How does Mucinex work for you? It would be great if I learned about another tool to clear my lungs a little bit more. Right now I cough a lot but several months ago I felt much better without this cough.
