How Nacyres Injection works
Nacyres 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, Nacyres Injection protects liver cells and reduces the risk of serious harm.

FAQs
What is Nacyres Injection used for?
Nacyres Injection is mainly used to treat paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose. It helps protect the liver from serious damage by breaking down harmful substances formed when too much paracetamol is taken.
How soon should Nacyres Injection be given after a paracetamol overdose?
For best results, Nacyres Injection should be given as soon as possible—ideally within 8 hours of the overdose. It can still help if given up to 24 hours later, but the sooner it is given, the better the chances of preventing liver damage.
How is Nacyres Injection given?
Nacyres Injection is usually given in a hospital through a drip (intravenous infusion) into a vein. The dose and duration depend on the amount of paracetamol taken and how long it has been since the overdose. The doctor will monitor closely during the treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
