Hi Carolg1

I think you will find that both do the same which is soften and loosen mucus so that it is easier for you to cough. I take 6 carbocystien per day plus nebulise 4mi of a 7% Hypertonic Saline Solution twice a day.

The best advice I can give is do not switch medication without checking with you doctor first.

Regards

Andy

Carol - have a chat with your pharmacist. He or she will be able to tell you exactly what the difference is. The only way you will know which is best for you is to try each one separately.

Thank you I will I have got a meds review but sometimes there is sounder advice on here I’m sad to say but thankful too.... I’m just terrified stopping one to try another will make matters worse of which I cannot afford at moment just so much mucus xx
