Common Poisoning Antidotes Quick Reference
Toxin
When to use
Rapid bedside reference for the targeted antidote. For life-threatening cases, prioritise airway/breathing/circulation, decontamination and a poison-control consult.
How it works
Examples: NAC for acetaminophen; naloxone for opioids; atropine + pralidoxime for organophosphates; fomepizole for toxic alcohols; hydroxocobalamin for cyanide.
Key points
- Supportive care and decontamination come before the antidote.
- Methylene blue and rasburicase are cautioned/contraindicated in G6PD deficiency.
- Long-acting toxins often outlast the antidote — repeat or infuse.
- Doses must be individualised to the toxin, amount and levels.
