WHAT IS ACC® USED FOR?

ACC® helps to treat the congestion caused by too much sticky mucus or phlegm.1-5 Excess mucus or phlegm in your airways can be caused by a cold, flu, sinusitis or allergies.6
ACC® medications include the active ingredient acetylcysteine (uh-see-tuhl-si-steen).1-3,7 This ingredient works to break down thick or sticky mucus and phlegm in your airways.1-3 We call this type of medication a mucolytic.1-3 Choose the ACC® that works for you:

1. Treating a wet, phlegmy cough
Medical studies show that mucolytic medication can reduce the intensity of a wet cough.5,8 Acetylcysteine, the active ingredient in ACC®, helps to reduce phlegmy coughing within four to five days of starting treatment.8
Acetylcysteine thins the phlegm produced by the lower airways and makes it more liquid so that it’s easier to cough up.8
2. Treating snotty sinuses
Acetylcysteine’s thinning effect on thick or sticky mucus makes it easier to clear out your nasal passages and sinuses.5 This eases the discomfort and pressure that comes with sinus congestion.5
| Did you know? Clearing the mucus and phlegm from your sinuses, nasal passages and lungs can also help to prevent a more serious infection from developing there.9 |
