fomepizole has been researched along with Liver Failure, Acute in 1 studies

Fomepizole: A pyrazole and competitive inhibitor of ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE that is used for the treatment of poisoning by ETHYLENE GLYCOL or METHANOL.
fomepizole : A member of the class of pyrazoles that is 1H-pyrazole substituted by a methyl group at position 4.

Liver Failure, Acute: A form of rapid-onset LIVER FAILURE, also known as fulminant hepatic failure, caused by severe liver injury or massive loss of HEPATOCYTES.
