It doesn't matter when you take it, and whether or not you have food as long as it is twice a day, roughly 12 hours apart, it constantly serves to thin the mucus. What is important with Mucinex and NAC is plenty of water - I drink a full glass when I take my meds morning and evening, as well as plenty throughout the day.
I have taken guaifenesin for close to 40 years, and it seems to have very few side effects, isn't known to interact with other meds, and you don't seem to become resistant and need higher doses.

Regarding the Mucinex and NSA dosage, when taking 2x daily do you ever stop clearing your throat or coughing up phlegm? I go on and off of Mucinex but am wondering if I should take it daily? I use my vest 2x daily and nebulize 2x daily with 3%. I produced a lot of phlehm throughout the day and with Mucinex even more. I would really like to control the coughing and dry up the phlegm. I understand the importance of getting it out of my lungs and airways but just need a break from the constant cough. Thanks for any and all advice.
