"Acetaminophen toxicity is the second most common cause of liver transplantation worldwide and the most common cause of liver transplantation in the US. It is responsible for 56,000 emergency department visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and 500 deaths per year in the United States." Emerg docs giving out NAC like candy for acetaminophen overdoses. It would never be approved if released today, but we've got a long history with it being OTC, so I don't see that changing. |
