Acetylcysteine (mucomyst)

Acetylcysteine, commonly known as Mucomyst, is a medication that helps thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up. It is often used to treat respiratory conditions like chronic bronchitis or cystic fibrosis, where thick mucus blocks airways. Additionally, it acts as an antidote for acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose by protecting the liver from damage. Acetylcysteine is usually given as a solution via inhalation or intravenously, and it supports respiratory health and liver safety.
