could you who use carbocysteine advise me? I am just finally bringing myself to try some. After struggling to open the bottle, presumably I have to tip the bottle whilst I use the 5 ml pipette thing to get the liquid out? Living on my own with deteriorating hands, I don't see how I can manage this. Any suggestions? Thanks

Heather, I have Medicine Straws which attaches to the tip of the syringe. The straw then goes into the bottle and drawing up the meds is straightforward. I order them with my syringes whenever I need some.
This is what one looks like and they come in various lengths:

Ellie I wondered that, or if it needed to slide down your throat to attack and soften your mucus. If you can put it down the tube, maybe I could manage xxDiagnosed July 2020, ALS bulbar onset. PEG and ventilator (mainly at night), and pretty poor speech, but legs still about functioning!
