For Diagnostic Bronchograms "I have chronic bronchitis and the beginnings of emphysema and am a smoker. I'm also prone to ulcers. Since I started taking NAC, I breathe easier and my bronchitis seems to be less 'phlegmy.' I've had no ulcer attacks. I've been taking it for a bit more than a year."

For Dietary Supplementation "NAC is scientifically proven to raise glutathione levels, and that's why I take it, for liver support. I take a low dose as recommended by my doctor, he says most people take way too much. It does have some side effects, one is an acidic stomach, the other is that it makes me tired. I've switched my dose to nighttime with food. He said it will take months for it to work, so stick with it, so I am. Good science behind this supplement!"

Acetylcysteine for Acetaminophen Overdose "It was really early in the morning, and I went to take Tylenol when I misread the directions. I meant to measure out two tablespoons of the drug, but accidentally used my measuring cup instead. I ended up chugging two cups of Tylenol instead! I was rushed to the hospital and given Mucomyst-10 to offset the effects. Mucomyst-10 saved my life. Thank you, Mucomyst-10!"

For Dietary Supplementation "I was struggling to breathe with COPD and using inhalers continually. Doctor prescribed these tablets - 1 to be taken 4 times daily. Almost immediate relief. I cannot believe how much they improved my breathing by clearing mucus from my lungs. Fantastic!!"

Acetylcysteine "I got lazy with my vaccinations and contracted COVID for my first time in October 2023. I was very, very sick, with the infection settling deep in my lungs. After I recovered, my lungs continued to struggle and had developed thick green mucus, which I would hack up whenever I would sing. I was exhausted, but I don't have health insurance, so I couldn't really afford to see a doctor for help. My boss's wife works as a nurse, and after my lungs just weren't recovering for months afterward, she suggested I try NAC. And honestly, it healed my COVID-damaged lungs so well they are perhaps healthier than they were before I got sick. There's some controversy, so certainly do your research and talk to your health practitioner, but I'm so thankful this stuff healed me."

Acetylcysteine for Dietary Supplementation "Used NAC with quercetin to reduce COVID symptoms. It definitely helped since I took blood thinners and was unable to have the recommended shot. No negative side effects, 600 mg twice a day. It does smell terrible."

"After an almost fatal bout with COVID in 2019, I developed Sinusitis/Bronchitis. This recurred several times between 2020-2022. I was treated with Corticosteroids, Immunosuppressants, you name it... NOTHING helped. I remembered that many years ago, when I was stationed in Israel, I had sinus/bronchitis problems. I was prescribed effervescent N-Acetylcysteine which helped me. I started taking this again in 2023. Within weeks, most of my symptoms of wheezing and coughing improved. Now, whenever I have sinus problems/bronchitis, this is the go-to medication! This stuff works, but only in the effervescent form."

For Expectoration "My mother was taking this drug at 10% with her nebulizer treatment of 3 ml albuterol bronchodilator, and it was working well. But now hospice has sent the 20% for her to use, and it is not breaking up the mucus as well. They say that the drug is on backorder for the 10%, and she is suffering by what seems to be using the 20%. I was told by a pulmonologist that it must be diluted with a bronchodilator, which is the albuterol, but in switching to the 20%, I'm not sure what the mixture should be."

"Got me clean from self-harm, with a lot of therapy too. But it really helped. Kinda tastes awful, so that's why it's getting a 9/10. Life-changing medication for me. I'm over 13 months clean, which is longer than I've ever been."

"I am 46 years old and have had tension headaches that turned into chronic migraines over the past 10 years. NAC has been a miraculous treatment for combating my migraines and returning to a normal life. I wish every person suffering from migraines today would try this supplement to see if it helps them as it has helped me. After many years of struggling with this condition, I have found relief with NAC. I have always been a very healthy, athletic, and calm person, but with the onset of migraines, I am even stricter. I don't drink alcohol, I don't drink coffee, I eat healthy, I meditate, and despite all this, the migraines were daily. I tried every treatment there could be: acupuncture, yoga, alternative medicine, etc., and took all kinds of medications from painkillers to triptans, treatment with Botox and Emgality, I saw several neurologists but nothing helped until I found NAC. I take only one 600mg pill in the morning; I do not recommend a higher dose because it can disrupt sleep."

For Dietary Supplementation "Lungs were clear-no problem before starting NAC pills. I took it to clear out my liver for 4 or 5 days, now I have a chronic cough, feels terrible. I'm coughing while typing this :( and I also read afterward that this med promotes cell growth as well as tumor growth as it doesn't distinguish the two, so be careful. Wish I never took it!"

"My psychiatrist prescribed me this beside a mixture of aripiprazole, folic acid. He said it's an antioxidant for chronic inflammatory due to depression and etc. Honestly, I don't feel anything, maybe it's just supplementary?"
