Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Last December 2018, my breathing problem was diagnosed to be COPD. Medicine precribed were 1. AMUCOE-NAC (2) Formoterol Forte (3) AIRz (4) Ascoril Syrup.
Amucoe-Nac was precribed for most probably for 30 days. But, I did not it for this long.
May use Amucoe Nac for 30 days now as my problem is little aggravated. Being in different place now, I can't consult my earlier physician. Hence, opinion is sought for if I can take it now.
If yes, for how many days. How many daily dose should be taken? If once or twice before or after food should it be taken? It afforded much benefit when I used it. Hence, opinion of an doctor is sought for.

Hi. I understand your concern s. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigation like pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis and assess severity of copd. NAC is not treatment option for copd. Consult a pulmonologist for the same at the earliest

Hi for COPD, you should be taking more of inhalers than NAC. Please consult a pulmonologist asap. AIRZ F and formeterol forte is a little over the board dosing of formeterol. Pulmonologist shall look into it and specify corrected treatment
