Buy Mucomyst (acetylcysteine) Online (Acetylcysteine)

Introduction

Mucomyst (acetylcysteine) is considered to be a mucolytic. Mucolytic medications help dissolve mucus so it’s easier to clear. It is usually given by inhalation. However, in hospital settings it’s sometimes prescribed or administered in alternative ways (e.g., as an acetaminophen overdose antidote).

Acetylcysteine is used for certain lung conditions when increased mucus makes breathing more challenging or difficult. Acetylcysteine liquefies (thins) or dissolves mucus so that it may be coughed up.

  • Mouth inflammation or sores

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Fever and runny nose

  • Drowsiness

  • Unpleasantly wet skin (clamminess)

In some instances, inhaled acetylcysteine has been associated with increased airway obstruction and difficulty breathing. The severity of this reaction is difficult to predict. This may occur in patients who have not previously reacted to acetylcysteine in this way. 

If you’re experiencing any of these problems, it's advised that you visit your primary care physician as soon as possible.

Storing Medicine

Before opening the vial, inhaled acetylcysteine should be stored at room temperature, between 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (or 20 C to 25 C). It can be exposed to temperatures between 59 to 86 Fahrenheit (or 15 C to 30 C) for shorter periods of time (e.g., while transporting the medication). 

The contents of acetylcysteine vials are sterile before opening and do not have an antimicrobial agent. Opening the vial can cause the medication to become contaminated. Ideally, to minimize the risk of contamination, acetylcysteine solution should be diluted and used within an hour of opening the vial. 

If a portion of the opened vial remains, the open vial of inhaled acetylcysteine should be stored in a refrigerator, between 36 to 46 Fahrenheit (or 2 C to 8 C) and used within 96 hours (4 days).
