Does anyone drink Mucomyst everday?

[BrittaniJo2190]

Well i went to the doc. to ask him about the GSH caps and he said that he would prescribe me with mucomyst and to drink 1 tablespoon everday and it would help my stomach and lungs cause it helps the anti oxident L Gluthione travel through the body or w/e..... so Ive been taking it on and off for awhile since I had just had surgery last week and didnt want to barf! Well ive been takin it for 3 straight days like im supposed to and I feel really bad.. the peeing out of my butt doesnt bother me that much its this feeling.. like im numb and really tired, it feels like im like seriously drunk or high.. has this ever happened to anyone else? I looked it up and google and found nothing!!

Thanks Brittani 18 w/CF

I actually had this same thought last week, I currently take 1800mg/day of oral NAC but was concerned with quality.. I plan asking my doc about prescribing it to me at my next visit at the end of the month. About a month ago I was taking drinking it to help with an intestinal blockage and noticed a siginifant increase in sputum prodution ans easy of coughing it out.

While I was on it I didn't have any side effects though. 1 tablespoon a day seems like an awful lot, I was taking 15ml twice a day. It could be too high a dose for you. do you how many mg your tablespoon translates to? 15ml is about 3000 mg of NAC in a 20% solution. Recent studies were done with 1800mg of NAC/day.

To easy the taste instead of of taking it straight try it with some soda water. Still awful but better than straight.

I Neb Mucomyst everyday, I never have
drank it though. I bet it would taste really bad.
It used to be worse beleive it or not,I took it 35
years ago and I gaged really bad.But it brought up the junk.

I was in the ER one night and a 14 year old Girl came
in who had swollowed a whole bottle of asprin and
they put a tube down her throat and poured 3
30 ml bottles of 20% sol. it made her throw up
the total contents of her stomach.

Back in the day mucomyst and coca cola was used commonly for intestinal blockages....

I have had more then enough doses of mucomyst and coca cola and it seemed to work pretty good....

given that was a good 30 years ago...So I suppose they have just replaced the older methods with nicer therapies...

But yes I have drank mucomyst pretty frequently when I was younger..

good luck

Here's a link for <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.medicinenet.com/acetylcysteine-inhalationoral/article.htm">Mucomyst.</a> and it's side effects. None on what your describing though, I'd give the doc a call and see what he says.

SIDE EFFECTS: When using this to thin mucus, it may cause nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, runny nose, clamminess, fever and an unpleasant odor the first several days as your body adjusts to the medication. If any of these effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor promptly. Notify your doctor promptly if you develop: rash, mouth sores, breathing trouble. If using a face mask, your face may feel sticky after use. Wipe clean with water. When using this medication by mouth for acetaminophen overdose or to prevent kidney problems, it may cause or aggravate nausea and vomiting. Diluted solutions of this medication may minimize this problem. Consult the pharmacist for instructions on proper dilution of acetylcysteine. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

here is what warwick prescribes for normal usage of oral NAC Mucomyst:

three times a day of one of the following:
--one NAC capsule size 500, 600, 800, or 1,000 mg.
--two teaspoons of 10% solution of Mucomyst
--one teaspoon of 20% soulution of Mucomyst

to the original poster...it definitly seem like maybe you are taking too much, or are not spreading out what you are taking throughout the day.

also, my doctor said you are supposed to dilute it (cola, fresca) to a 5% level which means add at least 3 times as much coke to the medicine, although you can add more.

good luck!
