Do you use Mucinex? At what dosage?

I had not taken Mucinex since Dx of MAC and Pseudomonas five years ago. I was hospitalized in September for 8 days for COVID. Cough was awful. The doctor (not pulmonary) prescribed Mucinex and it did well to get relief. My next visit with my MAC doc I asked if I should be using it regularly. He said no but he was OK to use it occasionally. Some of these posts are very favorable for Mucinex so I plan on asking him about it again during my appt. tomorrow. Appreciating this group so much.

Fdixon — would you mind asking your doctor tomorrow “why” exactly it is not good for us to take regularly?
Thanks!

Good morning Faye, I am a great proponent of using the least amount of medication and supplements to support my health. For me, the Mucinex is an absolute because without it my lung and sinus mucus are the consistency of rubber cement, and have been since childhood. Due to the "sticky" nature, I was tested for Cystic Fibrosis, but fortunately I do not have it.
Do you have trouble with thick or sticky mucus when you are not ill? Or are you able to get good airway clearance most days?
