If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.
Mucolytic effects:
As a mucolytic, it is believed that the free sulfhydryl groups in acetylcysteine react with the disulfide linkages of mucoproteins in bronchial secretions. This, in turn, acts to decrease the hypersecretion and viscosity of mucus secretions of the lungs and aids in the removal of these secretions through coughing, mechanical mechanisms, or postural drainage.
Antioxidant effects:
Antioxidants such as acetylcysteine may prevent tissue damage to various organs by scavenging oxygen free radicals (e.g., superoxides) or by other poorly understood mechanisms, such as stabilization of cellular signal transduction systems and reduced apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Reduction of sputum viscosity.
