It doesn't reverse the affects, but stops things from getting worse. Many patients get charcoal agents to induce vomiting. The patient gets an IV to stay hydrated with fluids. Sometimes a ventilator is needed (depending on the severity of the overdose). ]]> 2021-03-04 03:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/58400/yg4srr39u69a9seq/wish/1267077197 Sources 58400 https://padlet.com/58400/yg4srr39u69a9seq/wish/1267083390
