Antidotes provides up-to-date information on the development and clinical use of antidotes, 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. With no other single, published work that looks generally at antidotes, this invaluable book provides information on the antidotal treatment of poisoning with compounds encountered not only in Western Europe, North America and Australia, but also developing countries, and covers source, shelf-life and instances where antidote administration complicates or compromises laboratory analyses.
