Uses of Acinmuxi

Acinmuxi is a prescription medication commonly used in the treatment of respiratory diseases. So what is Acinmuxi and how is it used?

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.
