Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Conclusion This study provides evidence that a daily dose of NAC 1200mg, twice the currently recommended dosage, improves outcomes in patients with exacerbations of COPD. The beneficial effects of NAC are clinically apparent and are associated with reduction or normalisation of inflammatory markers. Further studies are necessary to ascertain whether the latter effects of NAC are directly related to its antioxidant activity or the result of improvements in mucus clearance. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/508001_5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
