Acetylcysteine Lysine
A salt form of acetylcysteine combined with the amino acid lysine, used in some countries as an inhaled or injected mucolytic agent to reduce the thickness and stickiness of mucus in the airways. It works in the same way as acetylcysteine by breaking apart the chemical bonds that make mucus viscous, making it easier to cough up. This formulation may be preferred in certain clinical settings for its improved tolerability profile.
