Antidote poison

An antidote is a substance that is used to counteract a form of poisoning. It works by either neutralizing or inhibiting the toxic effects of a poison, or by counteracting the effects of the poison with an opposite reaction. Antidotes can be administered either orally, intravenously, or topically depending on the type of poison. Common antidotes include activated charcoal, sodium thiosulfate, and naloxone. The type of antidote used will depend on the specific poison that has been ingested or exposed to. For example, an antidote to a snake bite would be different than an antidote to an opioid overdose. In either case, the antidote works by either neutralizing or blocking the action of the poison, or providing an opposite reaction that can counteract the effects of the poison.
