Antidote availability in Norwegian hospitals is insufficient, posing risks to poisoned patients. A national program is recommended to improve stocking of these vital, yet costly, medications.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Clinical Pharmacy

Context:

  • Antidotes are critical for treating poisoning but face challenges in hospital stocking due to cost and short shelf-lives.
  • Norway currently lacks a national antidote program, impacting consistent availability.

Purpose:

  • To assess the current state of antidote availability in Norwegian hospitals.
  • To identify deficiencies and provide recommendations for improving antidote stocking.

Summary:

  • A survey by the National Poisons Information Centre revealed unsatisfactory antidote availability in Norwegian hospitals.
  • The study highlights the difficulties hospitals face in maintaining adequate stocks of essential antidotes.

Impact:

  • Findings underscore the need for a national strategy to ensure timely access to antidotes for poisoning victims.
