Interactions
The simultaneous intake of acetylcysteine with drugs that inhibit the coughing stimulus must be avoided, as the mucus dissolved by acetylcysteine cannot be coughed up. The effect of some antibiotics, such as penicillins, cephalosporins or tetracyclines, can be reduced if they are taken at the same time as acetylcysteine. For this reason, they should be taken at least 2 hours later.
