Can I take Carbocisteine and Collagen together?

Why this happens

Carbocisteine works by breaking down the chemical bonds in mucus to make it thinner and easier to cough up. Collagen is a protein used by the body for skin, joint, and bone health. These two substances are processed by the body through different pathways and do not interfere with how the other is absorbed, broken down, or used by the body.

What you should do

You can continue to take both as directed. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or those provided by your healthcare professional. If you notice any unusual side effects, consult your pharmacist or doctor.
