If Yr thinning it, it's necessary to do - take a look at lung clearance techniques on aluk website ( acbt,postural drainage etc).it should help reduce coughing in between & put u more in control x

You may get on better with N-acetyl cysteine, ask your gp for this, quite a few members use this x

It's a mucus thinner that you can get from your gp NAC for short and is available in effervescent tablets, which are easier to take. Quite a few members on here use them.

I couldn’t get on with Carbocisteine at all, made me feel sick all the time and dry retching, gave me the most vivid dreams as well, felt exhausted!
