How Mucyst AB Tablet works
Mucyst AB Tablet is a combination of two drugs. N-acetylcysteine works by breaking down the disulfide bonds that hold mucus together. This makes the mucus thinner and easier to cough out. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can be helpful for people with respiratory conditions. Acebrophylline works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways. This makes the airways wider, making it easier to breathe. Acebrophylline also has a mucolytic effect, which helps to loosen mucus.
