Do you use Mucinex? At what dosage?

Hi!
I also tried Mucinex about 4 years ago when first diagnosed with Bronchiectasis with no luck, even with 1200mg. I have never produced sputum either except when sick with pseudonyms or exacerbation. Since I have MAC now, should I try again? Has anyone who DOESNT produce sputum found it effective??
Thanks!
Dee

That's an interesting question. I don't think a mucus thinner would be of much help if your body isn't producing any. Perhaps it would be useful during an exacerbation to thin the mucus when you are producing it.
Do you do routine airway clearance exercises? Or use saline to help keep your lungs as clear as possible?
