Different articles will say that there are no negative side effects:

"Toxicity, side effects, interactions, and contraindications

No side effects or interactions are known with oral administration of glutathione. There are no known signs of toxicity from glutathione. GSH and other thiols may be sensitive to redox-active minerals, and care should be taken to omit these from therapeutic preparations." That is taken from Glutathione | amino acid health benefits, dietary sources, side effects

I also read that one should not take Glutathione is one has diabetes or kidney disease. Are you making sure you are drinking enough water?

It is always best to go back to the doctor who prescribed l-glutathione to you. Beter safe and to know exactly what is going on than wonder what if.

Good luck.

I think you should talk to your doctor or medical practitioner about this to be honest

I am taking glutathione (via energy patches) and I have been wondering about this too, not because there is a direct glutathione irritation but perhaps since it has chelating effects, it is detoxing heavy metals etc from the body and can be a bit strenuous on the kidneys. My guess is that a lot of water will dilute the toxins and then after the detoxing is over, perhaps the glutathione will be helpful in healing the kidneys. This is all just a guess though. I would stop if you have kidney pain though.

Supplements Containing Glutathione Alone Will NOT Increase The Body's GSH Levels. It is pointless to purchase supplements that merely contain glutathione, because the digestive system breaks down ingested glutathione and it will not be absorbed into your system. On the other hand, MaxGXLâ„¢ provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body's own ability to manufacture and absorb glutathione. MaxGXLâ„¢ also aids in liver support by destroying environmental poisons helping the liver to function as the main production site and storehouse for glutathione. Max Gxl Glutathione accelerator is a pre cursor glutathione. it means that it deliver your body components that need by the cell to accelerate or increase your glutathione in the cell. the result of the supplement increasing your glutathione up to 400% is verifiable and quantifiable hru blood test after taking it for 2 to 3 monthsaccording to Dr. Keller.

the fact is ..
“Your life depends on glutathione. Without it, your cells would disintegrate from unrestrained oxidation, your body would have little resistance to bacteria, viruses and cancer, and your liver would shrivel up from eventual accumulation of toxins.�
