Characteristics of ACC Max effervescent tablets
The main active ingredient in ACC is acetylcysteine. It belongs to the group of mucolytics. These contain free groups with sulfur atoms that can break down the glycoproteins in mucus accumulated in the respiratory tract. Smaller molecules are easier to cough up and remove. At the same time, ACC Max does not interfere with the natural cough reflex. However, it has an antioxidant effect, neutralizing free radicals in inflamed areas.
The ease of taking ACC, its wide availability, and its effectiveness make it a common choice as an adjunct to various therapies for respiratory diseases, especially inflammation. Unfortunately, ACC Max is not always a good choice. Contraindications for its use include peptic ulcer disease, bronchial asthma, and respiratory failure.
When is ACC used in effervescent tablets?
The main indication for the use of ACC Max in the form of effervescent tablets is a troublesome and wet cough accompanied by difficulty in expectorating thick, sticky secretions. This situation very often occurs during bronchitis, when secretions accumulate in the respiratory tract and are difficult to cough up. However, ACC is used just as often for emphysema or sinusitis. The secretion dripping from the sinuses can be effectively thinned by the active ingredients of ACC, which will facilitate nasal cleansing.
Dosage
ACC should be used exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as recommended by your doctor or pharmacist. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
