Acetaminophen
side effects, nutrient depletions, herbal interactions and health notes:
Data provided by Applied Health
• N-acetyl cysteine has been shown to improve liver damage caused by acetaminophen overdose.1
• Use of over three grams of vitamin C has been associated with decreased acetaminophen clearance time.2
• Foods high in carbohydrates, pectin and vegetables like broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, etc. can interfere with acetaminophen absorption.3
• Acetaminophen consumption is especially risky for individuals who regularly consume excess amounts of alcohol as they can develop liver toxicity at lower levels of acetaminophen intake.4
• Individuals taking acetaminophen should refrain from fasting, Being in a fasting state greatly increases the chance of liver damage5
• In a study involving five healthy adult volunteers Houston and Levy found that oral administration of 3 g of ascorbic acid 1.5 hours after an oral dose of 1 g of acetaminophen caused a rapid and pronounced decrease in the excretion rate of acetaminophen sulfate. Later research by Mitra et al using rodents supported the conclusion that ascorbyl stearate provided protection against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity by reducing the reactive intermediate back to the parent compound. They also note that the combination enhanced therapeutic efficacy against fever.These initial studies indicate that individuals with conditions commonly treated by acetaminophen might be able to use lower doses of the drug, achieve equal or superior clinical results, and reduce side effects from the drug by combining it with some form of vitamin C. In fact, a survey of current clinical reality might reveal that such a combination is often the unsupervised practice of many patients. Nevertheless, individuals taking acetaminophen should consult with their physician and/or pharmacist before reducing doses of the drug based on simultaneous use of vitamin C.6
• Many studies have looked into the efficacy and appropriateness of using NAC to treat patients suffering from acute toxic effects of acetaminophen. Such treatment of acetaminophen intoxication with N-acetylcysteine (NAC), both oral and intravenous, is standard hospital protocol in many countries. NAC is generally considered safe with relatively few side effects. However, individuals suffering from acetaminophen intoxication require emergency care and use of NAC in this capacity is only appropriate in such a setting7
• Acetaminophen is generally well tolerated with few short-term side effects. However, the drug is inherently toxic to the liver, and to some degree the kidneys also, and an overdose of acetaminophen can result in liver toxicity, liver failure, and even death. The signs and symptoms of liver toxicity may not become apparent for 2-3 days after a toxic overdose. Patients with liver and kidney disease should exercise special caution in taking acetaminophen to avoid toxicity.8
• Overdosage of acetaminophen causes fatal hepatic failure and acute renal failure.9
