[Antidotes in acute poisonings]

Inhalation of dexamethazone (Auxiloson) prohibits a toxic edema of the lungs after poisoning with irritants. Poisoning with methanol is to be treated with ethanol trisbuffer and tetrahydrofolic acid (Folsan). "Solvents" should be "bound" in paraffinum liquidum in order to prohibit their absorption. Poisoning with organophosphates is to be treated with high doses of atropine and with the reactivator obidoxime (Toxogonin). Cyanide poisoningis are to be treated with 4-dimethylamino-phenol (DMAP) and sodium thiosulfate. In methemoglobin-poisoning the reduction of ferrihemoglobin is accelerated when toluidine-blue is applied intravenously.
