What Are Some Examples of Quick Interventions in Toxicology?
Several interventions underscore the importance of timely administration:
Activated Charcoal: When administered within an hour of ingestion, it can adsorb toxins and reduce systemic absorption. Atropine in Organophosphate Poisoning: Rapid administration can reverse life-threatening cholinergic symptoms. Fomepizole for Methanol Poisoning: Early use can inhibit toxic metabolite formation and prevent blindness or acidosis.
