Mucolytic Agent

NAC breaks down mucus in the respiratory system, making it easier to cough up and clear airways. This action is beneficial for individuals with conditions like bronchitis, COPD, and cystic fibrosis.

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) functions as a mucolytic agent by disrupting disulfide bonds within mucus, reducing its viscosity and adhesiveness. This action facilitates the clearance of mucus from the respiratory tract through coughing, making it easier to breathe. This benefit is particularly helpful in conditions characterized by excessive or thickened mucus production.
