How it works:
Mucinac Respules works in two main ways:
Mucolytic Activity:
It disrupts the disulfide bonds in mucus glycoproteins, which makes mucus less thick and sticky.
This helps obtain rid of mucus in the airways and makes it easier to breathe.

When someone takes too much paracetamol (acetaminophen), it brings back glutathione in the liver, which neutralizes harmful metabolites and stops liver damage.
