Treating Acetaminophen Poisoning

Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:

Monitoring

For children who have relatively low levels of acetaminophen in their blood, monitoring at home may be recommended.

Activated Charcoal

Your doctor may recommend activated charcoal. This can help prevent acetaminophen from absorbing in the gastrointestinal tract. It is taken by mouth.

N-acetylcysteine

In most cases, N-acetylcysteine, an amino acid, will be given by mouth or IV (through the vein) as an antidote.
