NAC Question

[Guest guest]

Hi Groupies!

I have a question about NAC.

How long have you been taking NAC?

Are you taking 1800 mg a day?

Is it helping?

I just wondered. . . . . . . . .

I have been taking NAC for 6 months, 3 times a day, 600 mg each dose. My doctor tells me it is working for me. I hope and pray it keeps on working.

Toodles!

Jim,

Since you have been nebulizing the Acetylcysteine, do you dilute it or mix it with other meds. When I first started nebbing it I mixed it in with my DuoNeb and it worked great. Then I read that you are not supposed to mix it. It is difficult to neb alone. Yucky! How many ml are you nebbing?

It really works great for me.

Hi Jane, I take NAC if I start coughing with a little gunk. I can not

take it daily cause my tummy does NOT like it as a regular diet.. My

transplant Dr. told me to go on it the first time I saw him. Good

Luck with it. I am just very sensitive to medications.

After three plus years I have been blessed not to have a cough.

Love and Prayers, Peggy

Hi Everyone

Thanks to everyone who has responded to the NAC question thus far.

NAC is going to be used in a clinical study next year. Toodles!

I have been on NAC for about two months - taking the 600 mg tablets 4

times a day. I, too, had a stomach issue with the capsules so switched.

I discovered the effectiveness of NAC in the body lasts only about one

hour after taking a dosage. As a result, I went over to a time release

NAC which supposedly lasts about 4 hours instead. In addition, I

learned there are some metabolic products produced in the body from

breaking down the NAC that supposedly can be harmful. These effects can

be neutralized by taking Vitamin C. As a result, I searched for and

found a source of time release Vitamin C to go along with the time

released NAC. My cough has been significantly reduced and as long as I

take the NAC and Vitamin C with orange juice, I encounter no stomach

upset.
