Acetylcysteine (N - acetylcysteine) in the drug Acetyl max is the N - acetyl derivative of L - cysteine, this is a natural amino - acid. Acetylcysteine has a mucolytic effect and is also an antidote to Paracetamol overdose.
Acetylcysteine reduces the viscosity of lung mucus with or without pus, by cleaving the disulfide bridge in the mucoprotein molecule. Thereby facilitating the expulsion of mucus through the cough reflex, postural drainage or by other mechanical means.
After oral administration, Acetylcysteine will be rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and deacetylated by the liver to cysteine, then metabolized. Peak plasma concentrations are reached approximately 0.5 to 1 hour after a dose of 200 to 600 mg. The oral bioavailability of the drug is low and may be due to metabolism in the intestinal wall and first-pass metabolism in the liver. Renal clearance may account for 30% of systemic clearance.
Acetyl Max is indicated in the following cases:
Mucus removal in mucoviscidosis (cystic fibrosis of the pancreas). Respiratory pathology with viscous sputum as in acute and chronic bronchitis. Routine cleaning in tracheostomy. Acetyl Max is contraindicated in the following cases:
Children under 2 years old. People with a history of asthma are at increased risk of a bronchospasm reaction to all forms of acetylcysteine. Hypersensitivity to Acetylcysteine. Caution when using Acetyl Max:
Must closely monitor patients at risk of asthma, if using Acetylcysteine for people with a history of allergies. If the patient has bronchospasm, a bronchodilator nebulizer such as Salbutamol (a short-acting, selective beta-2 adrenergic agent) or Ipratropium (an anti-muscarin) must be used and Acetyl Max should be discontinued immediately. .
