The liver function tests and the prothrombin time remained normal over the second and third day of admission and the patient was discharged without complications on the fifth day.įrom this experience we feel that in very severe paracetamol poisoning, a modified regime of intravenous N- acetylcysteine for 3 days is safe and efficacious.Agrawal S, Khazaeni B. She was treated with a 3-day modified regimen of intravenous N-acetylcysteine. The poor prognostic factors for paracetamol overdose in our patient included massive paracetamol ingestion (confirmed by blood levels), codeine co-ingestion and elevated serum amylase (189 U/L).
At 6 hours post ingestion, her serum paracetamol level was 207 mg/L. Our patient also drank 2 bottles of codeine-based cough syrup equivalent to 360 mg of codeine. We describe a 21-year-old patient who acutely ingested 120 tablets, each 500 mg paracetamol (i.e., 60 g equivalent to 1200 mg/kg body weight) in a suicidal attempt. To our knowledge, the maximum number of paracetamol tablets ingested reported in the literature is 45 g. Paracetamol overdose is the most common drug overdose worldwide.
