NAC is pretty easy to tolerate. Average dose is 600mg a day. It is a precursor to glutathione manufacture in the liver.

You'll see here in this very complete monograph from WebMD that it can help COPD....

There are several doses suggested for various purposes.
I think it would be a good idea to ask your pulmonologist just in case. It can help break up thick mucus in the lungs to facilitate breathing.

It is not expensive either. It is worth a try, and discussing with your doctor.
