Xteine Injection is an antidote medication. It is used in the treatment of paracetamol overdose (when you may have taken too much paracetamol medicine). It protects your liver and helps to reduce the extent of the injury.

Xteine Injection is given as an injection under the supervision of a doctor. It must be injected within 8 hours of a paracetamol overdose. It can be given up to 24 hours, but the medicine’s effectiveness slows down when given after 24 hours of the overdose. Your doctor will decide how much you need to improve your symptoms. Forever follow your doctor's advice while taking this medicine.

The most common side effects of this medicine include rash, urticaria, flushing, and itching. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them.

FAQs:

What is Xteine Injection used for?

Xteine Injection is mainly used to treat paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose. It helps protect the liver from serious damage by breaking down harmful substances formed when too much paracetamol is taken.

How soon should Xteine Injection be given after a paracetamol overdose?

For best results, Xteine Injection should be given as soon as possible—ideally within 8 hours of the overdose. It can still help if given up to 24 hours later, but the sooner it is given, the better the chances of preventing liver damage.

How is Xteine Injection given?

Xteine Injection is usually given in a hospital through a drip (intravenous infusion) into a vein. The dose and duration depend on the amount of paracetamol taken and how long it has been since the overdose. The doctor will monitor closely during the treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
