Poison and Antidote Matching Explained
This question requires matching specific poisons (List I) with their correct antidotes (List II). Here's the breakdown:
- A. Benzodiazepine: The specific antidote is Flumazenil (2). Flumazenil reverses the effects of benzodiazepines.
- B. Copper sulphate: This is a metal salt. D-penicillamine (1) acts as a chelating agent, which helps remove excess copper from the body.
- C. Opiates: The standard antidote for opioid overdose is Naloxone (4). It rapidly reverses the effects of opioids.
- D. Paracetamol: The crucial antidote for paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose is N-acetyl cysteine (3), which protects the liver.
Based on this matching:
- A matches with 2
- B matches with 1
- C matches with 4
- D matches with 3
Therefore, the correct combination is A/2 B/1 C/4 D/3.
