Abstract
Acetylcysteine produces a marked decrease in sputum consistency. The effects were of a magnitude equal to, and usually greater than that produced by water, saline, detergents, and enzymes. Acetylcysteine has value in the clinical management of patients with tenacious sputum, and serious toxicity was not noted.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
