How does Humibid help in the treatment of mucus balls?
A. The active ingredient in Humibid is Guaifenesin. It is not a true mucolytic like Mucomyst. Humibid makes mucus less sticky , and therefore easier for the patient to cough up and out. It does take approximately 24-36 hours to get to a therapeutic blood level. Correct adult dosage is determined by physician s prescription. Humibid may not eliminate mucus ball formation in all patients, but it will positively impact the majority of patients and make mucus management much easier for most patients.
