Detoxifying agents are not a cure-all for poisonings. Their limitations include:
- Time Sensitivity: Many agents are most effective when administered shortly after exposure.
- Specificity: Some agents are only effective against certain toxins. For example, naloxone is specific to opioids and wouldn't be effective for other types of poisoning.
- Incomplete Detoxification: Some toxins may not be fully eliminated by available agents, necessitating supportive care and monitoring.
