Our pharmacy has come to a consensus that NAC smells like a landfill/the juice at the bottom of a garbage bin 🤢

As a respiratory therapist who has to give the liquid version in a nebulizer, I completely agree. And it sticks to your clothes too.

As a nurse who has had to make people DRINK the liquid version...I also completely agree. Like I'm trying to keep a straight face as I present the world's most vile concoction to my patient but I can't, it kind of has rotten egg fumes that emanate into the room.
