Antidotesprovides up-to-date information on the development, their proposed mechanism of action, toxicity, availability and practical aspects of their clinical use. The antidotes discussed are primarily those either in current use, or under consideration or development. The book contains information on the antidotal treatment of poisoning with compounds encountered not only in Western Europe, North America and Australia, but also in developing countries. It covers source, shelf life and instances where antidote administration complicates or compromises laboratory analysis.
