N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a derivative of a naturally occurring amino acid. It is converted into cysteine, which is needed for the synthesis of the body's own important antioxidant (glutathione). NAC supplementation can support sufficient cysteine supply for synthesis.

NAC also acts directly as an antioxidant by binding to reactive oxygen radicals and thus reducing oxidative stress. The use of NAC is justified in conditions where oxidative stress is underlying the disease, such as acute liver dysfunction, acute pancreatitis, sepsis, and severely ill dogs.

After ingestion of xylitol, animal-toxic medications (e.g. paracetamol), or plants, fruits, etc. causing poisoning, as well as after a snake bite, use as soon as possible after the event (according to the package instructions) is justified.

In acute situations requiring veterinary treatment, the use of the product should always be mentioned to the treating veterinarian.

NAC also has a proven mucolytic effect, so use in connection with, for example, kennel cough can ease the animal's condition.
