Funded Activity Summary

Paracetamol overdose is the most common pharmaceutical poisoning in developed countries and incidence is increasing in the developing world. Overdose can lead to liver failure and death. Our research will evaluate a novel antidote regimen and whether early cessation of antidote for paracetamol toxicity in a specific cohort is safe, with implications of decreasing time in hospital. We will also identify risk prediction tools to help early identification of patients needing intensive treatment
