Sue- Do most Bronchiectasis patients take NAC? No one has ever suggested it to my. I am doing well and do take Mucinex, nebulize with levalbuteral and 7% saline, and use Azelastine. Do you think adding NAC is important? Thanks! Donna Turnbaugh

Hi Donna, I think NAC is just one more tool in our arsenal, but I don't believe everyone needs it. In my case, I tend to have sticky mucus, and also hyperreactive airways and a hyperactive inflammatory system. NAC seems to help with each of these, so I use. At one point, I though maybe I could substitute it for Mucinex, but it turns out I need both to keep my mucus flowing.
So, if your current routine works, why mess with it?
Sue
