Paracetamol is generally safe at recommended doses, but its intrinsic toxicity at higher doses represents the most important cause of acute liver failure and transplantation. Paracetomol is rapidly metabolized in the liver at therapeutic doses principally through sulfation and glucuronidation, and only very small portion is oxidized by cytochrome P450 2E1 to generate a highly reactive and cytotoxic intermediate
