what are the benefits of taking carbocisteine medication for copd sufferers.

[Jessy11]

It's a type of medicine. A mucolytic. Used to help clear sputum in respiratory disease associated with a productive cough. I don't know anything about this as I personally don't need this medicine as I don't have a cough at all. I'm sure someone will be able to help you. Take care

I only know I take it for bronchiectasis. It helps thin the mucous and makes it easier to bring it up with physio. I do not think it works for everybody. I do not know about it's use for COPD. Somebody with that condition will answer you. Kaye

Been taking mucodyne for a while now. Think it helps. Mucous not making me choke so much.

Works for some, not all.

Yes I have been on them for over four years now and never any problems with mucus easy to bring up and clear the chest I like them and could not be without them

I was put on it about 4 months ago...no problems and it does help me clear my chest.
