Allergy: Don’t use N-acetyl cysteine if you are allergic to acetyl cysteine.

Asthma: There is a concern that N-acetyl cysteine might cause bronchospasm in people with asthma if inhaled or taken by mouth or through a tube in the windpipe. If you take N-acetyl cysteine and have asthma, you should be monitored by your healthcare provider.

i would ask your doctor before taking anything like this. dont just ask someone else as everyone is different and on different meds. this can stop your medications working. as it works like charcoal and stops the stomach from absorbing medications.

I tried it but it caused digestive upset for me, so stopped using it.

Also check out drugs.com for side affects and drug compatibility.
