Just wondering if anyone takes anything like the above. If so do you find it helpful?

I’m fine during the day, easier obviously to clear. I’m on Braltus and Ventolin but frequently suffer disturbed sleep because of the need to “cough up “ and clear my airways. My thinking is the above will water down the phlegm making it easier to cough up . Would be interested if anyone has tried this

Hi I take Carbocisteine 2 x 3 times a day, really helps. I am assuming it is similar to Mucinex.

Yes on prescription from gp. Been taking it a long time now. I am also on Trimbow 2 puffs in morning and 2 at night so take it 1/2hr before bed. I also use Bricanyl when needed. Hope this info helps you
