Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
NAC 600 MG (N-ACETYL CYSTEINE) has been prescribed to support the kidneys during surgery for a splint in the main artery of the leg where my husband has no circulation. I was hoping he could take it on a daily basis. If so, how much. He also has high blood pressure, now under control with meditation (allergic to pharmaceuticals) and is also pre-diabetic.
