The document discusses antidotes for poisoning treatment. It defines an antidote as a therapeutic substance used to counteract the toxic effects of a xenobiotic. Antidotes are classified according to their mode or site of action, and include physical, chemical, and pharmacological antidotes. Physical antidotes like activated charcoal work by adsorption. Chemical antidotes form non-toxic complexes with toxins or accelerate detoxification. Pharmacological antidotes counteract toxins by antagonism at receptor sites, blocking toxic effects, or aiding normal function restoration. The proper use of antidotes combined with supportive care can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality from poisonings.
An antidote is a substance that can counteract a form of poisoning.Antidotes for anticoagulants are sometimes referred to as reversal agents.Antidote a medicine or other remedy for counteracting the effects of poison, disease, etc

covered antidote definition, classification, mechanisms. also sodium nitrite drug with their molecular formula, molecular weight,physical properties,chemical properties,reactions ,uses etc.refered from various books and search from google also.for any queries comment below.
It will be of no value to remove the chemical from the patient’s stomach if he has stopped breathing or his heart is fibrillating. So always asses the patient first, then what must be done and in what order.

Drug interaction is defined as the pharmacological activity of one drug is altered by the concomitant use of another drug or by the presence of some other substance
The Drug whose Activity is effected by such an Interaction is called as a “Object drug.”
The agent which precipitates such an interaction is referred as the “Precipitant”.
0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

2. Treatment of Poisoning:
Supportive care
Activated charcoal for serious
oral poisonings
Occasional use of specific
antidotes or dialysis
Only rare use of gastric
emptying
3. • The proper use of antidotes in the
intensive care setting, when
combined with aggressive supportive
care, may significantly reduce the
morbidity and mortality associated
with many severe poisonings.

4. ANTIDOTES
• According to WHO
“Antidote was defined as a therapeutic
substance used to counteract the toxic
action(s) of a specified xenobiotic.”
• antidotes reduce the overall burden of health
service in managing of poisoning cases
Supportive
therapy

6. According to Site of Action:
1. Interacts with the poison to form a non toxic
complex that can be excreted:e.g. Chelators
2. Accelrates the detoxification of the poison:e.g. N-
acetylcystine,thiosulfate
3. Decrease the rate of conversion of posion into
toxic metabolite:e.g.Ethanol,Fomepizole
4. Compete the poison for certain receptors.:e.g.
Nalaxone
5. Block the receptor through which the toxic effect
of the poison is mediated e.g.Atropine
6. Bypass the effect of Poison:O2 in the treatment
of CO and cyanide toxicity
7. Antibodies to the poison : digiband and antivenoms
7. Physical Antidote:
Agent use to interfere with poison
through physical properties, not
change their nature
a) Adsorbing: The main example is
activated charcol
b) Coating: A mixture of egg & milk
make a coat over the mucosa.
c) Dissolving: 10% alcohol or glycine
for carbolic acid
www.mcqsinpharmacology.com
8. CHARCOL:
(Universal Antidote)
• produced by heating pulverized carbonaceous
substances sawdust, peat, or coconut shells
• activation: Hot air to erode the internal
surfaces of the product and thereby increase its
adsorptive surface area.
• Adsorption results from weak intermolecular
(Van der Waals) forces
• AC can prevent systemic absorption of drugs
when given within 1-2 h of ingestion
• The optimal dose is probably a 40:1 ratio (by
weight) of charcoal to drug
• contraindicated for iron, lithium, potassium, and
ethanol overdose
9. Chemical Antidote:
• Interact specifically with a toxicant,
or neutralize the toxicant.
e.g. metal chelators combine with metals to form
complexes that can then be eliminated by the
kidneys
Mainly act by two mechanisms:
Complex Formation:
Antidote make complex with the toxicant making it
unavailable to cross the membrane or to interact
with receptors
DMSA(dimercaprol and dimercaptosuccinic
acid are sulfohydral compounds that bind metal
such as arsenic acid ,lead.
www.mcqsinpharmacology.com
10. Sp. Binding agents like EDTA, defroxamine and
D-pencillamine act by chelation of metal
forming more water soluble complex
Antivenins and antibodies against digitoxin are
immunologicaly genrated agents that bind
specifically to the toxin or venom
Metabolic conversion:
Detoxification to less toxic product
Nitrite interact with hemoglobin and cyanide to
form cyanomethamoglobin , which is less toxic
than cyanide and interfare with the cyanide
access to cytochrome oxidase system.
11. Pharmacological antidote:
• counteract the effects of a poison by producing the opposite
pharmacological effects, e.g., ACHE inhibitors atropine
• Pharmacologic antidotes may
neutralize or antagonize the effects
of a toxicant.
• This type of antidote may act by
following 5 mechanism.
www.mcqsinpharmacology.com
12. 1. Preventing the formation of toxic
metabolites:
More effective when given immediately before
toxic metabolic activation
Example:
Ethanol and 4-methylpyrazole(4-MP) which
compete with the alcohol dehydrogenase which
prevent the formation of toxic intermediate from
ethylene glycol.
2. By Facilitation Of More Rapid Or Complete
Elimination Of A Toxicant :
Change the physiochemical nature of toxin,
allowing better glomerular filtration and prohibt
tubular reabsorption.
eg., molybdenum and sulfate for copper toxicity by
making water soluble complex,
13. 3. By competing with the Toxicant’s action at a
receptor site:
a) Antagonism:
Competitive antagonism:
Naloxone/Naltrexone: Opioid dependence,
longer action and affinity for mu receptor.
Flumenazil: Antagonist for Benzodiazepine
Atropine: organophosphate, carbamate and
other parasympathomimetic antidote.
It is also used to correct bradycardia caused by
morphine, digitalis, beta blockers etc
www.mcqsinpharmacology.com
14. Non Competitive Antagonism:
Calcium gluconate:
Used for Calcium channel blocker especialy
Verapamil
Black widow spider bite
Lead colic
Oxalic acid
Paralidoxime :ChE activator act by breaking Alkyl
phosphate ChE bond. It is used in
organophosphate toxicity.
Diacetyl Monoxyime(DAM): action same as PAM
but with more BBB penetration.
Physostigmine: Counteract the anticholinergic
effect
www.mcqsinpharmacology.com
15. 4. By blocking receptors responsible for the
toxic effect :
The physiologic effect induced by a toxin is
prevented by an antidote, although the toxicant is
unchanged and may still be active.
Example:
atropine blocks the physiologic effect of
acetylcholine at cholinergic synapse and
neuromuscular junction ,and in organophosphate
toxicity
www.mcqsinpharmacology.com
16. 5. By aiding in the restoration of normal
function:
The antidote promotes return to normal function
by repairing a defect or enhancing a function that
correct the effect of poison.
Example:
Methylene blue:
In nitrite poisoning, methylene blue interact with
reduced NADPH to reduce the ferric iron of
methemoglobin back to ferrous ion in hemoglobin,
which can again transport oxygen
Acetylcysteine :
Acetylcysteien supplies the precursor amino acids
for glutathione, which serves as biologic
antioxident against acetaminphen toxicosis
