N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) effervescent tablets are a form of the medication commonly used to help treat respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and bronchitis. This formulation dissolves in water to create a fizzy solution, making it easier to ingest, especially for individuals who have difficulty swallowing pills. NAC works as a mucolytic agent, helping to break down and thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to clear. It’s also used as an antidote for acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdose. NAC effervescent tablets are often taken orally, following the dosage and instructions provided by a healthcare professional.
