It demands consideration of psychological and social factors such as lay beliefs, coping strategies, and emotions such as depression and fear. It is administered parenterally by subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injection.Each mL contains Atropine sulfate, 0.4 mg; benzyl alcohol, 9 mg; sodium chloride 9 mg. May contain sulfuric acid for pH adjustment. The mechanisms of action of antidotes are given below: 1)Complex formation.
Inhalation of cyanide gas, especially within an enclosed space, poses a significant health risk.

A preliminary list of antidotes for review, as well as of other agents used to prevent the absorption of poisons, to enhance their elimination and to treat their effects on body functions, was established. Intravenous sodium bicarbonate administration may be necessary to correct for metabolic acidosis.If still apneic after antidote administration, consider sodium bicarbonate for severe acidosis.Anyone treating a contaminated person should wear appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid exposure. Rosalind Dalefield BVSc PhD DABVT DABT, in Veterinary Toxicology for Australia and New Zealand, 2017. Although mild vagal excitation occurs, the increased respiratory rate and (sometimes) increased depth of respiration produced by Atropine are more probably the result of bronchiolar dilatation. Between 20 and 40 percent of the population does not carry the gene needed to detect the odor of cyanide. It is also essential that antidote administrations be slow and titrated to effect to prevent overdosing of the patient. ... Clinicians will select an antidote based on the status of the individual victim, the accessibility of supportive care, and the availability of the drug. Also contained in the kit are: amyl nitrite inhalants (0.3 mL) and sodium nitrite injection, (300 mg per 10 mL). Idarucizumab is a humanized, monoclonal, antibody fragment that reverses the direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran. Responses to postganglionic cholinergic nerve stimulation also may be inhibited by Atropine but this occurs less readily than with responses to injected (exogenous) choline esters.inhibition may be preceded by a transient phase of stimulation, especially on the heart where small doses first slow the rate before characteristic tachycardia develops due to paralysis of vagal control. Despite popular misconceptions, antidotes are available for only a small number of poisons. Dubos (a microbiologist) saw health as the manner in which one responds to the challenges of one’s environment.Placing people and health in a physical and social context has profound implications for the work of dentists and researchers. Flush the patient’s eyes with large amounts of water or saline solution. Note to reader: This fact sheet is intended to provide general awareness and education on a specific chemical agent. 4) By changing the physio-chemical nature of toxicant. For paracetamol overdose, it works by increasing the level of glutathione, an antioxidant that can neutralise the toxic breakdown products of paracetamol. 2. Intravenous lipid emulsion is an established, effective treatment for local anesthetic-induced cardiovascular collapse. Toxic doses lead to restlessness and excitement, hallucinations, delirium and coma. 2004. Mechanism of Action of Antidotes Antidotes act by different mechanism.
