Table 1 Pharmacokinetic parameters of Paracetamol (300 mg/kg) following an oral administration of Paracetamol to rats with or without silymarin (100 mg/kg) and chlorzoxazone (50 and 100 mg/kg)

From: Chlorzoxazone reduced the paracetamol-induced toxicity via competitive inhibition of CYP2E1-mediated metabolism
