Antidote, Nerve Gas, Auto-Injector

An antidote is a drug that neutralizes the effects of another drug or a poison. Autoinjectors are often used in the military to protect personnel from chemical warfare agents

Antidote,  Nerve Gas, Auto-Injector - 6505-21-895-3322 Antidote Nerave agent Atropine is the most common drug used to combat nerve gases. The Smithsonian Institution reports both the Egyptians and Greeks used atropine, although it was not until 1901 pure atropine was made in a lab. This antidote alleviates the symptoms brought on by nerve gas exposure by blocking the acetylcholine receptors.

The Antidote Treatment – Nerve Agent, Auto-Injector (ATNAA) is a specially designed unit for automatic self-or “buddy”-administration by military personnel. When activated, the ATNAA sequentially administers atropine and pralidoxime chloride through a single needle. The recommended procedure is to inject the contents of the auto-injector into the muscles of an outer thigh or into the buttocks.
