Blood Clotting Problems

NAC may interfere with blood clotting, increasing the risk of bleeding, particularly when taken with anticoagulant medications. Symptoms include prolonged bleeding, easy bruising, and potential internal hemorrhaging in severe cases.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been associated with potential interference in the blood clotting process. This interference may lead to an increased risk of bleeding or bruising, especially in individuals who are concurrently taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications. Symptoms may include prolonged bleeding from cuts, easy bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, blood in urine or stool, or unusually heavy menstrual bleeding. In severe cases, it could contribute to more serious bleeding events such as internal hemorrhaging.
