ABSTRACT:
A method of preventing acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatotoxicity utilizing diallyl sulfide (DAS) and diallyl sulfone (DASO.sub.2) is disclosed. DAS and DASO.sub.2 are prepared as an oral dosage form or injected. In a preferred embodiment, diallyl sulfone is added to a dosage form of acetaminophen in an amount effective to prevent the metabolism of said unit dose of acetaminophen into its hepatotoxic metabolites. In certain preferred embodiments, the above formulations further include an effective amount of N-acetylcysteine to detoxify hepatotoxic metabolites of acetaminophen.
