What are the Treatments for Cholinesterase Inhibition?
The primary treatment for cholinesterase inhibitor poisoning involves the administration of atropine and pralidoxime. Atropine works by blocking the effects of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors, while pralidoxime reactivates cholinesterase by removing the inhibitor. Supportive treatments, such as oxygen therapy and anticonvulsants, may also be necessary.
