Comparing the Therapeutic Effectiveness of N-acetylcysteine with the Combination of N-acetyl Cysteine and Cimetidine in Acute Acetaminophen Toxicity: A Double-Blinded Clinical Trial

BACKGROUND: N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been used as a classic treatment for hepatotoxicity induced by N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) as a metabolite of acetaminophen.
