Product Information

• Name: Acetaminophen cysteine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Acetaminophen cysteine is a prodrug of acetaminophen that is metabolized by the liver into acetaminophen. Acetaminophen cysteine has been shown to be safe and effective in children with fever-associated pain and as an analgesic for acute pain management in adults. It has a good safety profile, with minimal toxicity observed at therapeutic doses. Acetaminophen cysteine may be useful for patients who are unable to take or do not respond to standard doses of acetaminophen due to intolerance or lack of response. The pharmacokinetics of acetaminophen cysteine have been studied in healthy volunteers, as well as in patients with chronic renal failure and hepatic impairment. Pharmacokinetic data suggest that acetaminophen cysteine is well tolerated and can be used as an alternative treatment for patients who are unable to take or do not respond to standard doses of acetaminophen.
