Bronac Injection is an antidote for paracetamol poisoning. It works by increasing the level of glutathione, an antioxidant that neutralises the toxic products of paracetamol.

Bronac Injection is used for the treatment of paracetamol overdose (when you may have taken too much paracetamol). It protects the liver from damage by the high levels of paracetamol. It is very effective when given during the first 8 hours following paracetamol overdose. It can still help when given within 24 hours.
