Abstract

Clinical reports support acetylcysteine as an effective agent in the prevention of severe hepatic necrosis and mortality in acetaminophen toxicity [2, 8, 13]. The agent is safe and easily administered to the patient. Further studies are needed before acetylcysteine is considered the agent of choice in the management of acetaminophen overdosage in this country.
