Is fluimucil(acetylcysteine) -200 mg granules for solution being gargled or not?
Acetylcysteine is the generic name for Mucomyst. It’s an expectorant or more precisely it thins out mucous when it comes in direct contact with it. We used to nebulize it with a bronchodilator added because it could be irritating to the mucous membranes of the bronchial tree. It was effective in thinning out very tenacious secretions in certain pulmonary conditions. It is also used in the treatment of Acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose. It smells and tastes like rotten eggs, or sulfurous odor.Something I just learned is that is used in certain psychological disorders. As to whether it has a use when it is gargled , I have never heard nor could I find a reference to it. God bless.
