N-Acetylcysteine

How Acetylcysteine works Acetylcysteine is a mucolytic medication that thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to cough out. Additionally, it acts as an antidote in cases of paracetamol poisoning by replenishing the body's stores of glutathione, a chemical responsible for removing toxic substances.

  • Drink plenty of fluids to help loosen congestion and lubricate your throat while taking this medication.
