Mucomyst is used for certain lung conditions when increased amounts of mucus make breathing difficult. Mucomyst liquefies (thins) or dissolves mucus so that it may be coughed up. Sometimes the mucus may have to be removed by suction. Mucomyst is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage form: Inhalation Solution (U.S. and Canada)
