How Can Acetaminophen Be Safely Used in Toxicological Cases?
Acetaminophen is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic agent that is generally well-tolerated. However, in toxicology, its use requires caution due to the risk of liver toxicity, particularly at high doses or in patients with pre-existing liver conditions. The antidote for acetaminophen overdose, N-acetylcysteine, should be readily available in cases of suspected toxicity.
