I’ve just talked to my doctor about using mucinex long term vs short term recommended for its use. He is in agreement so I’ve started taking it twice a day, as per instructions for mucinex 12 hours. It seems to be effective at thinning mucous/secretions in my lungs and (as a bonus) sinuses when I’ve taken it short term. I’m hoping it helps me get rid of the thick mucous (plugs) that continue to show up on my chest CTs if I take it long term.

I haven’t found NAC at 600 mg twice a day to be very helpful but I’m wondering about taking mucinex and NAC together and/or using NAC alone at a higher dosage.

Have you found it more helpful to use NAC with mucinex?

Also, I have read that it is safe to take NAC at a higher level than 600 mg twice a day but wonder if anyone is doing that?
