A member asked:

Can i take acetyl-cysteine and ambroxol/guaiphenesin together to ease up my phlegm?

Specializes in Holistic Medicine

Yes: All of those things can loosen your phlegm. They are safe to take together and should work better in combination than alone. Another substance that helps loosen phlegm is potassium iodide.
