N-ACETYL CYSTEINE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS TO IMPROVE THE THERAPEUTIC EFFICACY OF ACETAMINOPHEN

摘要

The present invention relates to compositions for improving the efficacy of acetaminophen comprising a unit dose of acetaminophen and a therapeutic efficacy-enhancing amount of N-acetylcysteine, such that acetaminophen and N-acetylcysteine are present in the composition in a molar ratio of acetaminophen to N-acetyl cysteine ranging from about 1:15 to about 1:0.000977, and use of such compositions for analgesic and antipyretic applications.
