Endometriosis.
Open accessAbstract
encourage more people to take an overdose.It should, however, reduce the likelihood of an accidental overdose being taken from severe pain and increase the chance that if a patient's family knows of the overdose they will encourage him or her to seek prompt medical advice.The pharmaceutical industry is in a pivotal position to address the problem of the continuing high mortality from paracetamol overdose as the addition of an antidote, such as methionine, to all available preparations might prevent every death that currently occurs.At present paracetamol- methionine combinations are costly, little publicised, and rarely prescribed.Adding methionine to all preparations of paracetamol might increase prices and therefore reduce sales.Another solution might be to develop non-hepatotoxic derivatives of paracetamol.It will indeed be tragic if the mortality from paracetamol overdose over the next quarter of a century proves to be as high as that of the last.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
