How to Order:
Acetylcysteine Solution 20% for Inhalation (Acetaminophen Antidote) is a medication used to treat cases of acetaminophen overdose. Acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol) is a common over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer, but in high doses, it can cause liver damage and even liver failure. Acetylcysteine is a potent antioxidant that helps prevent or reduce liver damage caused by an acetaminophen overdose. The solution is typically inhaled to reach the affected lung tissues quickly and effectively. It can also be given intravenously in severe cases.
Acetylcysteine Inhalation Solution 20% works by breaking down and thinning the mucus in the lungs. It does this by releasing a sulfur compound that breaks down the disulfide bonds that hold the protein molecules in mucus together. This causes the mucus to become thinner and less sticky, making it easier to cough up and clear from the lungs.
Acetylcysteine Inhalation Solution 20% also works as an antioxidant, which means it can help to protect the lungs from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that can damage the cells and tissues in the lungs, and they are often a result of inflammation and infection.
By breaking down mucus and protecting the lungs from damage, Acetylcysteine Inhalation Solution 20% can help to improve breathing and reduce symptoms of respiratory conditions such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and cystic fibrosis. It can also help to prevent respiratory infections by clearing mucus and allowing the lungs to function more effectively.
