Acetylcysteine in the drug is a derivative of the natural amino acid L-cystine. Acetylcysteine reduces the viscosity of lung secretions by breaking the disulfide bridges in mucoproteins and facilitating their expulsion through the cough reflex. Acetylcysteine also has a hepatoprotective effect in paracetamol overdose.

If bronchospasm persists, acetylcysteine must be discontinued immediately. Stacytine use can increase thin sputum in the bronchi. If the patient has a reduced ability to cough, must aspirate sputum by mechanical means or put a suction tube in the trachea to open the patient's airway. Hepatic Impairment: The clearance of acetylcysteine is significantly reduced in patients with cirrhosis and the half-life is twice that of healthy subjects.
