Risk factors in the development of adverse reactions to <i>N</i>‐acetylcysteine in patients with paracetamol poisoning

Abstract

Asthma must be considered a risk factor in the development of side-effects to NAC. However, the side-effects are easily managed and there is no reason to withhold NAC from any patient with paracetamol poisoning. Paracetamol itself seems to offer some protection against the development of side-effects to NAC.
