What is ACETIN?

ACETIN is an acetylcysteine ampoule at 300 mg per 3 mL, packed 10 ampoules to the box.

In short

  • The carton prints Use: Mucolytic and See Leaflet inside, in English. The ampoules are amber glass with an orange label.
  • The ampoule label reads For deep IM. A licensed doctor or practitioner assesses and gives the product, following the leaflet in the box.

How ACETIN differs from Acetadote

Acetadote is a 200 mg per mL solution, 6 grams in 30 mL, in a single-dose vial for intravenous use. Its US labelled use is to prevent or lessen liver injury after a potentially toxic amount of acetaminophen.

The two share an active substance but differ in strength, packaging and label text, so information on one is not used for the other.

What to tell the doctor

Tell the doctor about drug allergies, acetylcysteine in particular, asthma or a history of bronchospasm, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any medicines or supplements in use. The Acetadote label lists a prior hypersensitivity reaction to acetylcysteine as a contraindication and advises caution in asthma.

The Acetadote information belongs to another product with the same substance and is not the leaflet of ACETIN. The doctor decides whether it suits each person after reading the leaflet in the box.

Allergic reactions described in the Acetadote label

The Acetadote label describes serious hypersensitivity reactions that can occur when acetylcysteine is given intravenously, such as rash, low blood pressure and wheezing, and says patients should be observed during and after administration.

Frequently asked questions

What does Mucolytic on the ACETIN carton mean

It refers to the class of agents that thin mucus. MedlinePlus places acetylcysteine among the mucolytic agents for the inhaled form.

What is acetylcysteine

Acetylcysteine is the N-acetyl derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine, a white crystalline powder according to the Acetadote prescribing information. The intravenous Acetadote product is labelled in the US as an antidote for acetaminophen overdose.

What is NAC

NAC is N-acetyl-cysteine, another name for acetylcysteine. A Mahidol University Faculty of Pharmacy document describes it as a precursor the body uses to build glutathione with glycine and glutamate. That is the role of the substance, not a use of ACETIN.

Can ACETIN be used in place of Acetadote

No. They are separate products, each used under its own leaflet. The differences are in the tab above.
