The FDA has reclassified it as a drug, maybe because of its success in some studies in helping the lungs of people with Covid. It is now Pureformulas.com and Thorne still have some of their brands but otherwise check the shelves in stores. It works so well it is now unavailable as a supplement!

Actually, it was originally classified as a drug. Periodically FAD goes through the lists of (unregulated) substitutes to see if they are properly classified. In high doses, NAC is used as a liver detoxifier and has significant side effects. In low doses, as used for supplements, it seems quite safe.
Now the discussion has arisen about potentially reclassifying and regulating.
As we like to say here, stayed tuned for further developments. As of yesterday, it was still available in a number of places.
