Antidote Shot (Weak)

ANTIDOTE SHOT, WEAK VARIETY. (See also ANTI-VENOM, FIELD MEDICINE) An antidote shot is administered to a patient in the case of chemical (medicinal overdose) or natural (plant, animal venom) poisoning. Depending on the severity of the poisoning, a weak- or standard-strength shot can be used. The lower dosage is always recommendable, in order to avoid possible side effects, but must be weighed against the probability of patient death.
