What Treatments are Available for Toxic-Induced GI Motility Issues?
Treatment strategies depend on the specific toxin and the severity of the symptoms. General approaches include:
Decontamination to remove or neutralize the toxin (e.g., activated charcoal, gastric lavage) Medications to manage symptoms (e.g., antiemetics, laxatives, antidiarrheals) Antidotes for specific toxins (e.g., atropine for organophosphate poisoning) Supportive care, including hydration and nutritional support
In severe cases, hospitalization and more intensive interventions may be required.
