Gastric lavage is the only treatment for overdose cases of acetaminophen (paracetamol).
Note: Overdose of this drug can damage your liver.
Another View:
You cannot treat this at home. If you have confirmed that you have acetaminophen toxicity, you need to get to an emergency room immediately, within 72 hours.
Otherwise, if you have overdosed on acetaminophen, your liver may completely fail, and you could lose your life.
At the hospital, they will treat you with a drug called N Acetyl-Cysteine, or NAC, that quickly raises your glutathione levels. Glutathione is a potent detoxifier, and will remove toxic metabolites from your liver left behind by the acetaminophen, thereby protecting your liver from complete failure and certain death.
