Mucyst 1000mg Injection is an antidote for paracetamol poisoning. It works by increasing the level of glutathione, an antioxidant that neutralizes the toxic products of paracetamol. Glutathione helps the liver safely break down and remove harmful substances formed when paracetamol is taken in excessive amounts. If glutathione levels drop too low, these toxic substances can cause severe liver damage. By restoring glutathione, Mucyst 1000mg Injection protects liver cells and reduces the risk of serious harm.
