medication to help thin mucus on chest, to help remove mucus easier

[peege]

many of us are prescribed Carbocysteine to help soften mucus making it easier to expel from the lungs. Drinking plenty of fluids also helps hydrate the whole system.

In other parts of Europe Nac- Acetylcysteine is prescribed (can be purchased in England, I dont know about the rest of UK)

Both are known as mucolytics (Nac is used for other health benefits but i cant remember what). Try using the search bar, you'll find lots of information. P

I have nacsys 600mg effervescent tablets on prescription its brilliant compared to carbocysteine as only 1 fizzy tablet a day

I use Carbocysteine 2 tablets twice daily.

I used to cough all night.

I don’t sleep well,but it’s not the coughing that keeps me awake.x

I take the Carbocisteine 3 tablets three times daily which is the max amount but also find that using a nebuliser with a saline solution 2 or 3 times daily also helps a great deal,
