2-Mercaptoethanesulfonic Acid
Used as a protective agent given alongside certain chemotherapy drugs to prevent bladder damage caused by toxic breakdown products. It works by binding to and neutralizing harmful metabolites in the urinary tract before they can cause irritation or bleeding. Patients receiving it typically notice no direct effects, as it acts silently to protect healthy tissue during cancer treatment.
