N-acetylcysteine

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant that is used both as a prescription drug and as a dietary supplement. It is primarily used as a drug to treat acetaminophen overdose, where it binds to the toxic forms of acetaminophen that are formed in the liver. It is also used to help break up mucus in conditions like bronchitis and cystic fibrosis.

• Prescription Drug: Used to treat acetaminophen overdose and mucolytic therapy.

• Dietary Supplement: Marketed for liver protection and immune support.

• Potential Benefits: Liver protection, immune support, respiratory conditions, cognitive functions.

As with any supplement, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before using, especially if you’re taking medications or have underlying health conditions.
