How to Detoxify Fuzi Poisoning?

Aconitum poisoning can be alleviated through detoxification therapy, elimination therapy, symptomatic treatment, and other methods, which are helpful for improving symptoms.

1. Detoxification Therapy

Generally, if the aconite is not processed or the processing method is not standardized, short decoction time, or excessive dosage may cause poisoning. Poisoning may lead to excitation of the cardiac vagus nerve, causing bradycardia. Patients can use atropine to relieve the toxic and side effects on the heart as prescribed by the doctor. They can also use lidocaine carbonate injection, compound procaine hydrochloride tablets, and other drugs for relief.

2. Elimination Therapy

If in the early stage of poisoning, timely emesis and gastric lavage can be performed to promote the early excretion of unabsorbed toxins in the body and reduce toxic and side effects. At the same time, intravenous access can be established to supplement saline and various electrolytes, which can promote the excretion of toxins through urine.

3. Symptomatic Treatment

After poisoning, if the patient's blood pressure drops, they can be treated with noradrenaline bitartrate injection, isoproterenol hydrochloride injection, dobutamine hydrochloride injection, and other drugs as prescribed by the doctor to achieve a blood pressure-raising effect. If the patient experiences convulsions, they can be treated with diazepam tablets, clonazepam tablets, phenobarbital tablets, and other drugs as prescribed by the doctor to achieve a sedative effect. In addition, if the condition is severe, medical examination and treatment should be sought promptly. Ventilator-assisted ventilation, artificial respiration, and other methods can be used for relief as necessary. In daily life, it is necessary to develop good living habits, take medication as prescribed by the doctor, and avoid self-medication blindly. At the same time, drink more water, urinate frequently, and accelerate body metabolism.
