Mucomelt 1000 MG Injection contains acetylcysteine (1000 mg), which works on the body through several mechanisms:

• Antidote function: Acetylcysteine replenishes depleted glutathione stores in liver cells during paracetamol overdose, providing sulfhydryl groups that neutralise the harmful metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI).

• Mucolytic action: It breaks disulfide bonds within mucoproteins, which effectively reduces the thickness of mucus in the respiratory tract.

• Glutathione restoration: The medicine helps restore levels of glutathione, an important antioxidant that protects cells from damage by harmful molecules called free radicals.

• Liver protection: By binding to toxic metabolites formed during paracetamol overdose, acetylcysteine prevents these substances from causing liver cell death and organ failure.

• Keep protected from direct light exposure.

• Do not freeze the injection.

• Store away from children's reach.

• Check the expiry date before use and discard if expired.

• Use immediately after opening and discard any unused portion.

• If you're receiving Mucomelt 1000 MG Injection for respiratory conditions, increase your water intake to at least 8-10 glasses daily to help thin mucus secretions and make them easier to clear.

• Consider using a humidifier in your bedroom to add moisture to the air, which may help loosen thick respiratory secretions and make breathing easier.
