Acetylcysteine Effervescent Tablet

Product Description

Actime 600 tablet (Acetylcysteine) it is used to treat respiratory conditions characterized by excessive mucus production and congestion, such as chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis. Acetylcysteine works by breaking down disulfide bonds within mucoproteins, reducing the viscosity of mucus and facilitating its clearance from the airways, thereby easing breathing and reducing the risk of complications associated with mucus buildup.

In addition to its role as a mucolytic agent, acetylcysteine serves as a potent antidote for acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdose, a common cause of acute liver failure. Acetaminophen overdose can deplete hepatic stores of glutathione, an essential antioxidant that protects liver cells from oxidative damage. Acetylcysteine replenishes glutathione levels, thereby mitigating liver toxicity and preventing further hepatocellular injury when administered promptly following acetaminophen ingestion.
