Antidote strychnine

Antidote strychnine is a medical activity that is used to treat poisoning from strychnine, a toxic alkaloid used as a pesticide and in some medications. Strychnine poisoning can cause severe nerve and muscle stimulation and can lead to seizures, paralysis, or death. The antidote for strychnine is an injection of an anticholinergic drug, such as atropine or scopolamine, which blocks the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for muscle stimulation. This drug helps to prevent seizures and paralysis, and can also help reverse the effects of strychnine. Additionally, an intravenous injection of sodium thiosulfate is often administered to reduce the toxicity of strychnine in the body. This medical activity is used to help treat the symptoms of strychnine poisoning and to reduce the risk of further complications or death.
