See Linden CH, Rumack BH, Acetaminophen overdose, Emerg Med Clin North Am, 1984;2(1):103-119, among others. An entire symposium was dedicated to N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in the mid-80s. Among other things, they indicated that it was an important antidote to toxicities induced by ifsofamide. NAC may also have value in treating HIV/AIDS. What shocks me is how often it is prescribed for people with liver disease (based primarily on following sci.med.hepatitis). George M. Carter
