Antidotes
What are Antidotes
An antidote is a drug, chelating substance, or a chemical that counteracts (neutralizes) the effects of another drug or a poison.
There are dozens of different antidotes; however, some may only counteract one particular drug, whereas others (such as charcoal) may help reduce the toxicity of numerous drugs. Most antidotes are not 100% effective, and fatalities may still occur even when an antidote has been given. Some examples of antidotes include:
Acetylcysteine for acetaminophen poisoning Activated charcoal for most poisons Atropine for organophosphates and carbamates Digoxin immune fab for digoxin toxicity Dimercaprol for arsenic, gold, or inorganic mercury poisoning Flumazenil for benzodiazepine overdose Methylene blue for drug-induced methemoglobinemia Naloxone for opioid overdose Pralidoxime for poisoning by anti-cholinesterase nerve agents.
