N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine/NAC CAS:616-91-1 Introduction:
N-acetyl cysteine comes from the amino acid L-cysteine.
N-acetyl cysteine It is used for chest pain (unstable angina), bile duct blockage in infants
It is also used for reducing levels of a type of cholesterol called lipoprotein homocysteine levels
Some people use N-acetyl cysteine for chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hay fever, a lung condition called fibrosing alveolitis, head and neck cancer, and lung cancer. It is also used for treating some forms of epilepsy;
N-acetyl cysteine is also used for preventing alcoholic liver damage
N-acetyl cysteine is sometimes inhaled (breathed into the lungs) or delivered through a tube in the throat to treat certain lung disorders such as pneumonia, bronchitis, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, and others.`
