My husband has been recently diagnosed with copd and has had a constant girgle/cough for the past year and a halfl Antibotics have done nothing to correct this. He quit smoking aboiut the time the cough started. His lungs are clean, it is from the base of his throat and has a lot of phlegm which is still light yellow in color. This is all new and just now finding out a little more about copd.

However, the evidence to support that claim is weak, according to a research review done in 2006 on how NAC affects COPD. That review said the design of the study in question did not allow for "firm conclusions."
Meanwhile, a large, three-year research project known as the BRONCUS study found that NAC did not prevent decline in lung function.
