Purpose:
This aims to study poisoning cases involving bromadiolone, its detection from biological samples, and treatment for the survival of the victim.
Methods:
A literature survey on bromadiolone poisoning using Scopus, PubMed, and World Wide Web using relevant keywords, e.g. Bromadiolone poisoning, bromadiolone toxicology, poisoning treatment, bromadiolone detection, detection methods. The analytical methods like thin layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, CT scans (computed tomography scan) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and combined mass spectroscopic methods were used for the detection of bromadiolone.
Results:
Bromadiolone poisoning in different organisms like cats, rats, birds, foxes, and human beings was studied. On the basis of the concentration of bromadiolone and its half-life period, symptoms like internal hemorrhage were observed; in some cases, lesions on the brain were seen. Vitamin K (Vit. K), is the effective treatment for the curing of bromadiolone, was identified.
Conclusions:
This review suggests that in the case of bromadiolone poisoning, it is very important to find out the poisoned compound and not to rely only on symptomatic treatment. It is found that Vit. K is the major curative treatment for the survival of bromadiolone poisoning victims.

Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison
Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.

Antidotes
Specific antidotes operate by inhibiting the enzymes that control biochemical pathways, reducing the production of harmful metabolites.
An example of an antidote is atropine, which counteracts the detrimental effects of cholinesterase inhibitors. It achieves this by deactivating muscarinic receptors,...
