Mucinex

Does it help with flem

  1. I find it very useful for my congestion, thins things out and helps it move along much smoother or it just goes away.

    1. My doctor recommended it during my last check-up (April). My CT scan showed mucus plugs developing. When mucus plugs develop and cannot be loosened and coughed out, then a bronchoscopy will be necessary to remove them. My doctor wants to do as little invasive procedures as possible. I now take 600mg Mucinex twice a day and cough out mucus daily. So, yes, Mucinex does help with phlegm. Take care and God Bless!

      1. Hi , everyone is different but many in our community have found mucinex helpful! I would recommend chatting with your doctor to see if they recommend it for you and if they do, what dosage.
