Abstract
The ammonium salt of N-acetyl-L-cysteine is a relatively non-hygroscopic crystalline solid which renders it particularly useful for administration by insufflation in the treatment of bronchopulmonary disease. It is of use in a mucolytic process wherein bronchopulmonary mucus is contacted with solid ammonium N-acetyl-L-cysteinate utilizing only the energy of the inspiratory action of the inhaler.
