- Moderate evidence4 studies
Across 4 studies, 3 reported beneficial effects of N-Acetyl Cysteine on reducing mortality risk, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to large. The most compelling evidence comes from meta-analyses in COVID-19 (41% risk reduction, RR=0.59) and rodenticide poisoning (OR=0.25-0.34), while one small clinical trial in infants found no significant effect. Study durations and doses were not consistently reported, precluding identification of a specific effective dose or treatment window.
