URIC CHLORIDE  Removes a poison or prevent its absorption by
coating or suspending the poison
1. Gastric lavage  Tragacanth
 White eggs
 Process of cleaning out the stomach contents
5. Precipitant
2. Emetics
 Substances which prevent absorption of poison
 2 Kinds of Emetics by precipitating them and rendering them
insoluble
1. Local emetics
 Tannin
- Produce their effects by their irritation of the
terminal nerve filaments of the pharynx,  Egg albumin
esophagus or stomach
- Emetics action = results for a reflex stimulation III. Physiologic Antagonist
of the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata
 One whose physiologic action on the body is
2. System or general emetics opposite to that of the poison

- Produce their effects through the medium of the  Barbiturates

circulation
 atropine
- Emetic action = results is due to direct
stimulation and irritation of the vomiting center Properties of a typical antidote
in the medulla
 It should be capable of being taken in a large
3. Cathartics dose without danger.

 Agents which produce intestinal evacuations  It should act upon the poison, whether liquid or
solid.
 Generally used after a chemical antidote to
remove the compounds formed by such antidote  It should be capable of combining with the
from the intestinal tract poison immediately, at a temperature equal or
below that of the body.
4. Demulcents
 Its action should be quick.
 Substances which soothe and protect the part to
which they are applied  It should deprive the poison of its deleterious
effects
 Includes:
