Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the drug list you have mentioned.
You are already taking N acetyl cystine (NAC).
Mucinex is having NAC only.
NAC is having mucolytic, expectorant, anti inflammatory and anti oxidant actions.
So it is ideal drug for your condition.
So you can definitely continue taking it.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
