Acinmuxi is a prescription medication commonly used in the treatment of respiratory diseases. So what is Acinmuxi and how is it used?
1. What is Acinmuxi?
Acinmuxi is a drug that acts on the respiratory tract, the drug is prepared in the form of a powder with the main ingredient in each package is Acetylcysteine 200mg.
Acetylcysteine is the N - acetyl derivative of L - cysteine, this is a natural amino - acid. Acetylcysteine is used as a mucolytic and as an antidote to paracetamol overdose. This active ingredient works to reduce the viscosity of mucus in the lungs with or without pus by cleaving the disulfide bridge in the mucoprotein molecule. Thereby facilitating the expulsion of sputum through cough reflex, postural drainage or by mechanical methods.
In addition, Acetylcysteine is also used topically to treat the absence of tears. Acetylcysteine is also used to protect against hepatotoxicity from paracetamol overdose, by maintaining or restoring hepatic glutathione levels. It is therefore necessary to inactivate the hepatotoxic intermediate metabolite of paracetamol.
In case of paracetamol overdose, a large amount of paracetamol's metabolite is produced, as the main metabolic pathway (glucuronide and sulfate conjugates) becomes saturated. Acetylcysteine is converted to cysteine, which stimulates the liver to synthesize glutathione, so acetylcysteine may protect the liver if treatment is started within 12 hours of paracetamol overdose. Therefore, it is important to start treatment as soon as possible.
Acinmuxi is used to relieve mucus in acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases with increased mucus secretion.
