Prescribing-label excerpts

Acetylcysteine

Reference for: Acetylcysteine. Source presentation: injection, solution. Source route: intravenous.

Mechanism of action

Acetylcysteine has been shown to reduce the extent of liver injury following acetaminophen overdose. Acetaminophen doses of 150 mg/kg or greater have been associated with hepatotoxicity. Acetylcysteine probably protects the liver by maintaining or restoring the glutathione levels, or by acting as an alternate substrate for conjugation with, and thus detoxification of, the reactive metabolite of acetaminophen.

Pharmacokinetics

After a single intravenous dose of acetylcysteine, the plasma concentration of total acetylcysteine declined in a poly-exponential decay manner with a mean terminal half-life (T1/2) of 5.6 hours. The mean clearance (CL) for acetylcysteine was 0.11 liter/hr/kg and renal CL constituted about 30% of the total CL.

Distribution — The steady-state volume of distribution (Vdss) following administration of an intravenous dose of acetylcysteine was 0.47 liter/kg. The protein binding of acetylcysteine ranges from 66% to 87%.

Metabolism — Acetylcysteine (i.e., N-acetylcysteine) is postulated to form cysteine and disulfides (N,N-diacetylcysteine and N-acetylcysteine). Cysteine is further metabolized to form glutathione and other metabolites.

Excretion — After a single oral dose of [35S]-acetylcysteine 100 mg, between 13% to 38% of the total radioactivity administered was recovered in urine within 24 hours. In a separate study, renal clearance was estimated to be approximately 30% of total body clearance.

Hepatic Impairment — Following a 600 mg intravenous dose of acetylcysteine to subjects with mild (Child Pugh Class A, n=1), moderate (Child-Pugh Class B, n=4) or severe (Child-Pugh Class C; n=4) hepatic impairment and 6 healthy matched controls, mean T1/2 increased by 80%. Also, the mean CL decreased by 30% and the systemic acetylcysteine exposure (mean AUC) increased 1.6-fold in subjects with hepatic impairment compared to subjects with normal hepatic function. These changes are not considered to be clinically meaningful.

Renal Impairment — Hemodialysis may remove some of total acetylcysteine.

Common questions

Before you request a quotation.

Acetylcysteine 400 mg / 2 ml Liquid injectables

What is listed in the catalogue?

The catalogue lists Acetylcysteine 400 mg / 2 ml as liquid injectables in its respiratory & allergy navigation area and non-beta-lactam manufacturing stream.

How do you confirm manufacturing availability?

Send Walter your requirement for Acetylcysteine 400 mg / 2 ml Liquid injectables. The team reviews the applicable product permission and unit, formulation and equipment fit, testing, packaging and production schedule before confirming the manufacturing scope in writing. Request the relevant product and facility documents with your enquiry.

What do I need for a quotation?

Share the exact composition and strength, liquid injectables presentation, target market, initial quantity, preferred pack and timing. Identify whether this is a new product, development brief or transfer.

The quotation must confirm MOQ, inclusions, prerequisites and lead time for the proposed product and site.

What is needed for Indian and export markets?

For India, share the intended brand or institutional supply requirement, pack sizes, initial order quantity and artwork needs for Acetylcysteine 400 mg / 2 ml Liquid injectables. Confirm the applicable product permission, manufacturing unit and labelling requirements with the team.

For export, identify each destination country, proposed pack, language and registration or dossier requirements. Ask which product-specific quality and stability documents are available. Container compatibility and destination-market requirements need review; a catalogue record does not establish export registration or a shelf-life commitment.

How do I submit my enquiry?

Use the product-specific enquiry button to carry this composition and dosage form into the form. After a successful submission, a receipt reference confirms that your brief has been saved for review. Use the RFQ checklist to prepare the remaining details.
