Abstract
Although some antidotes are rarely used, they have an important, potentially life-saving role in the treatment of toxic exposures. The timely and judicious use of an antidote can prevent death and shorten hospitalization as well as reduce the patient's pain and suffering. Although their importance is recognized, sufficient stocking of antidotes remains a problem.
