NAC Attack


NAC Attack—A Multicenter Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial to Test Oral N-Acetylcysteine in Patient

NAC is a strong antioxidant that reduces oxidative damage. NAC Attack is a randomized, placebo controlled multicenter trial that will test whether NAC can slow progression of RP. The results are critical to the RP community because if NAC proves beneficial it will mean life-long treatment with NAC for patients with RP. We understand the anxiety and concerns that RP causes, but it is best to avoid self-medication with supplements.
