Q

Treatment of anticholinesterase overdose / poisoning:

A

1) Artificial ventilation if necessary
2) Block muscarinic actions of ACh(Atropine)
3) Cholinesterase reactivator (Pralidoxime & obidoxime)
4) The oximes have high affinity for the phosphorus atom & can hydrolyze the phosphorylated enzyme
and regenerate active enzyme from the
organophosphorus-cholinesterase complex.
