Used primarily in the treatment of respiratory diseases, this compound acts as a mucolytic and antioxidant agent. It helps reduce the viscosity of mucus, making it easier to clear from the airways, which is particularly beneficial in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchitis. Its antioxidant properties help protect lung tissue from oxidative damage caused by inflammation and environmental pollutants. It may also support the reduction of recurrent respiratory infections and improve overall lung function in patients with chronic respiratory conditions.
