Clinical doses, frequencies, and administration protocols are determined by the treating physician.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mechanism<\/h2>\n<p>Glutathione is a thiol tripeptide that exists in reduced (GSH) and oxidised (GSSG) forms; the reduced form donates electrons to neutralise hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxides via glutathione peroxidase, and conjugates reactive electrophiles via glutathione-S-transferase. Cellular glutathione is depleted by oxidative stress, paracetamol overdose, alcohol, ageing, and several disease states. IV glutathione transiently raises circulating levels; cellular uptake of intact GSH is limited, but the molecule is hydrolysed and the constituent amino acids (especially cysteine, the rate-limiting precursor) support intracellular re-synthesis.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clinical indications<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Cisplatin- and oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (Schmitt 2009 trial &mdash; preserved sensory nerve function on serial nerve-conduction studies)<\/li>\n<li>Oxidative liver stress in chronic hepatitis, fatty liver, post-anaesthetic, post-chemotherapy<\/li>\n<li>Acute paracetamol toxicity (N-acetylcysteine is the standard antidote that replenishes intracellular GSH; IV GSH is supplementary)<\/li>\n<li>Some Parkinson&#8217;s disease research protocols (off-label, low evidence)<\/li>\n<li>Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis adjunct (low evidence)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doses (clinician-determined)<\/h2>\n<p>Cisplatin-induced neuropathy: 1.5&ndash;2.4 g IV before each chemotherapy cycle.

It remains an option in oncology supportive care but is not universally adopted.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is it administered?<\/h3>\n<p>By a healthcare professional, intravenously, after reconstitution with a compatible diluent. Self-administration is unsafe and not endorsed.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there oral alternatives?<\/h3>\n<p>Liposomal oral glutathione has modest absorption. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) 600&ndash;1200 mg\/day is a more bioavailable cysteine precursor and is the standard oral approach to raising intracellular glutathione.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u0395\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c3\u03c6\u03b1\u03bb\u03ad\u03c2 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03b5\u03b3\u03ba\u03c5\u03bc\u03bf\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7;<\/h3>\n<p>Insufficient data &mdash; avoid unless the clinical situation strongly justifies it. NAC has a longer pregnancy safety record.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take it with chemotherapy?<\/h3>\n<p>Only under oncology supervision. The interaction between antioxidant supplementation and chemotherapy efficacy is debated; clinical decisions need to be made within the multidisciplinary team.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does it smell of sulphur?<\/h3>\n<p>Glutathione contains a sulfhydryl (-SH) group. The smell during infusion is harmless and dissipates within minutes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How often should I have it?<\/h3>\n<p>Determined by the treating clinician.
