Acc 200mg Effervescent Tablets 25s

ACC 200 belongs to the mucolytic group of medicines. This drug contains an active substance called acetylcysteine and it works by breaking disulfide bond between gel-forming mucins, therefore reducing mucus viscosity, and facilitating expectoration. ACC 200 is used to treat respiratory disorders accompanied by increased mucus production.
