That is why I take mine every day, all the time. I started Mucinex first due to persistent ear and sinus infections - who knew it would also be a help with my bronchiectasis years later?
And I started the NAC to help with the mucus, and it has helped with my asthma management & persistent over-reactive inflammatory system. I think it may also be a piece in the puzzle that is helping get my chronic pain under control. Whatever...it helps, has no known bad side effects, and I can afford it, so it is in my meds every day.
I have come to realize that many of the things I do for one problem end up helping others as well. I think that is why health care is such a puzzle, especially as we get older and acquire more and more ailments, diseases, complaints or whatever you want to call them!

Hi Sue! How much NAC do you take daily? I’ve been considering starting on it. I’ve cleared it with my PCP, but she didn’t have dosing recommendations. My grocery store has it in 600mg capsules.

If I take mucinex daily (for example) some other co morbidities will be thrown off. It is hard to know what to do! Today taking it really helped the mucus to come up more thoroughly but I got a nose bleed! I get that more after taking certain remedies which thin the blood. Also Mucinex might throw off my intestines the next day. It is a real juggling act when you have other health issues that are upset by the things which help the lungs. So I try to take things as often as I can get by with and to rotate remedies. I think I may try NAC again but last use gave me insomnia and it also thins the blood. It is great that both those things help you with no side effects! I wonder why some people are so reactive to things (such as myself) while others are not. One of those mysteries.
