Mucomyst (acetylcysteine): When discovered early, administration of n-acetylcysteine (mucomyst) intravenously may help individuals with tylenol (acetaminophen) toxicity avoid the need for liver transplant. Oral use of this medication is not likely to be as helpful as the IV form. Otherwise, supportive care by a medical team is provided.
