We are using N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC or ACC) for those out-patients complain from coughing, shortness of breathing, dyspnea, or smoking. Our periscribed dose is 1-3 tablets/day (divided each 24-8 hours), respectively. We combine NAC with dexamethasone orally or by injection.
For critical case (O2 saturation nearly 70%), 2 tablets (stat) in combination with dexamethasone (8 mg, IV/IM) is useful.
N-acetylcysteine could act as a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of COVID-19. Please see the following RG links.

Patients are receiving NAC iv. 6 g/day in addition to other treatments prescribed for COVID-19 [20]. Oral administration of NAC (600 mg/day) could function as a preventive measure, particularly in those repeatedly exposed to possible SARS-CoV-2 carriers (e.g., health workers).
