Adverse drug reactions to poison antidotes

Adverse drug reactions to poison antidotes The probability of benefit generally outweighs the risk of adverse reactions for antidotes such as N-acetylcysteine used for treatment of paracetamol (acetaminophen) poisoning, and naloxone used in opioid poisoning. For some antidotes, such as dicobalt edetate in cyanide poisoning, administration carries high risk, and the clinical decision to use the antidote is only taken in severe poisoning. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Adverse Drug Reaction Bulletin Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

The probability of benefit generally outweighs the risk of adverse reactions for antidotes such as N-acetylcysteine used for treatment of paracetamol (acetaminophen) poisoning, and naloxone used in opioid poisoning. For some antidotes, such as dicobalt edetate in cyanide poisoning, administration carries high risk, and the clinical decision to use the antidote is only taken in severe poisoning.
