Potassium Permanganate for Morphine Poisoning. Potassium Permanganate
is recognized as being the most effective chemical antidote in
cases of morphine or opium poisoning, acting directly on the morphine
and oxidizing it to less toxic substances. To be effective the
Permanganate must come in direct contact with the opium or morphine
in the stomach; hypodermatic or intravenous injections are absolutely
useless, as the salt would be decomposed by the blood serum at
once. The approved treatment is administration of two to five
grains of potassium Permanganate in dilute aqueous solution as
soon as possible after the poison is taken, this amount to be
increased if very large doses of the poison have been taken. Washing
out the stomach with a quantity of 1 to 500 solution of Permanganate
is also recommended, using at least a pint of this solution either
by a stomach pump or by enforced vomiting. PERMANG. OF POTASH
counteracts effects of alkaloids of many poisonous plants. Owing
to its oxidizing powers if given before the alkaloid has been
absorbed. (Dr. Chestnut in Dept. of Agriculture.)
