A REVIEW OF VETERINARY ANTIDOTES William Hare DVM, PhD, DABVT; USDA-ARS-ANRI, 177C BARC-East, 10300 Baltimore Ave. Beltsville, MD 20705 Lynn O Post DVM, PhD, DABVT; FDA, HFV-216, 7500 Standish Place, Rockville, MD 20855 Fred Oehme DVM, PhD, DABVT; Kansas State University, M213 Mosier Hall, 1800 Denison Ave., Manhattan, KS 66506
“Antidote” by definition is a remedy to counteract a poison. However, there is no consensus on
where the term begins or ends. Classically speaking, an antidote acts specifically to prevent,
counteract, reverse or relieve the action of a toxicant, i.e. the exact dose of poison counteracted
by the same exact dose of antidote leads to no deleterious effect. But, contemporary usage of
the term antidote usually refers to any substance that prevents or relieves the effects of a
toxicant. Antidotes, like toxicants, are potentially harmful and should not be used
indiscriminately; for as Paracelsus stated in the 18th century, “All substances are poisons; there
is none which is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison from a remedy.”
Since an antidote is a remedy for a poison, the pharmacologic-therapeutic effects of various
antidotes, including their mechanism of action, opens the door to further classification and
definition. An antidote, which would have therapeutic efficacy on all toxicants, would be referred
to as a universal antidote. However, no such antidote exists. There are no antidotes which
work on all toxicants. However, chemical antidotes bind chemically with the toxicant or its active
site. Mechanical antidotes prevent the absorption of a specific toxicant. There are also
physiologic antidotes that therapeutically produce systemic effects opposite to those produced
by the toxicant. There are specific antidotes, such as antitoxins, which act specifically on toxins.
Methods and protocols for toxicant decontamination of a suspected poisoned patient regardless
of whether it is a food animal or companion animal should not be confused with the use of
antidotes. Dilution, non-specific absorption, adjustments of pH, and other measures with natural
or synthetic chemical substances, including some patent medicine preparations containing
magnesium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide and/or activated charcoal are often used in
decontamination procedures. These substances, though still used, are usually applied after
ingestion or exposure, but before absorption.
Just as antidotes are a remedy, some medicinal substances if given to a patient poisoned by a
specific toxicant are detrimental and would cause retrogression. This could happen by
interfering with protein binding of the toxicant by administering a drug with greater protein
binding affinity, thereby releasing more free-toxicant. It could also happen by adjusting pH and
reducing the charge on a toxicant so that it is more easily absorbed. The potential for adverse
drug-toxicant interaction is real and must be considered when treating all poisoning cases.
In Table 1, we include most all of the antidotes presently available that could be beneficial in
veterinary clinical toxicology. In addition, readers will note that the vast majority of these
antidotes are “not approved veterinary drugs,” and therefore not labeled for use in animals.
Hence, it must be stated that the extra label use of most of these drugs as antidotes does not
imply any recommendation or even encouragement by the authors for non-judicious use. Extra
label use of drugs in veterinary medicine is a serious consideration, and the taking of such a
responsibility by an attending veterinarian should always be done with all due care and concern.
Published works referencing information on antidotes and their use are cited in Table 1 and
listed in Table 2.
The Animal Medicinal Drug Clarification Act of 1994 allows veterinarians to legally administer or
prescribe any human or veterinary drug for extra label purposes. However, any liability
associated with their use becomes the responsibility of the administering veterinarian. This is a
particularly critical issue when assuring that no drug or toxic residues remain in the animal
tissues when intended as a human or animal food source. Likewise, the veterinarian has a
responsibility to assure a safe and wholesome food-animal enters the food chain. Therefore,
the veterinarian must take into consideration poison residues and institute appropriate pre-
Clinical toxicology is ever changing due to the continually evolving array of potentially toxic
substances, which in practice is frequently followed by the development of appropriate antidotal
therapy. Because of this, safety precautions should always be taken, regardless of whether the
patient is a food animal or a companion animal. Food safety and the quality assurance of
animal-produced food products can not be jeopardized. Proper steps in determining a risk
assessment of both the toxicant and the antidote must be carried out.
The veterinarians and professional staff of the Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank
(FARAD) are readily available to assist veterinarians in determining appropriate withdrawal
times for any extra label drugs used as antidotes. Some withdrawal times for commonly used
extra label antidotes are well known and published; others are less so. Sodium nitrite and
sodium thiosulfate administered to treat cyanide toxicosis have no withdrawal times; while
methylene blue used for methemoglobin formation from nitrate, nitrite and chlorate poisoning
does. Methylene blue currently has a withdrawal time of 180 days for meat and milk producing
animals. However, withdrawal time can change as more relevant data is generated through
controlled studies. Therefore, it is recommended that FARAD be contacted, either by telephone
(888-873-2723) or by e-mail (farad~1Thcsu.edu or farad~ucdavis.edu), to determine the most
current information on appropriate withdrawal times.
As our clinical toxicology experiences increase and our knowledge broadens, so will the
standards of therapy and the clinical choices for which antidote and detoxification procedure
may be most appropriate in any given situation. One must remember that it is always the
attending veterinarian’s responsibility to determine the most appropriate antidote for the
situation, select its dose, and prescribe the treatment protocol. The veterinarian should always
rely on his or her experience and knowledge with poisons and antidotes, as well as giving
earnest consideration to the poisoned animal, the circumstances surrounding the exposure and
The ease of availability of human and veterinary pharmaceutical products, as well as chemical
products, creates a perpetual problem. The manufacturing and marketing of these products are
usually driven by economics. When there is little or no profit to be made with a new drug, there
is usually little effort made to identify and market an antidote. The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) Center for Veterinary Medicine may apply regulatory discretion in the use
of unapproved antidotes, especially in life-threatening situations, and thereby can allow
legitimate manufacturers to produce and market such needed products. However, use of
unapproved antidotes can generate unwarranted risk, can become problematic, and is a high
priority regulatory issue when illegal antidote residues are detected in food animals and their
products. Therefore, antidotes must be used responsibly and in appropriate circumstances. In
addition, the vast number of commercial company mergers, coupled with frequent changes in
the names of pharmaceutical firms and their products, makes finding the best available source
One may check on current availability of specific antidotes marketed as a pharmaceutical

The doses for antidotes listed in Table 1 are given as a guide. Many are derived from anecdotal
experiences, some have been handed down through generations, and others are veterinary
extrapolations of human manufacturer’s recommendations. Remarkably, only a few have been
confirmed by scientific investigations. However, all have histories of being successful at one
time or another. Table 4 provides literature sources for the use of such antidotes in veterinary
medicine. It is our hope that judicious use of these antidotes will be of benefit in saving animal
life, relieving animal suffering and conserving animal resources.
