Calcium channel blocker toxicity, [7] black widow spider bites Calcium gluconate [7] Calcium channel blocker toxicity, [7] hydrofluoric acid burns Chelators such as EDTA, dimercaprol (BAL), penicillamine, and 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA, succimer) Heavy metal poisoning: Cyanide antidotes (hydroxocobalamin, amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, or ...
Treatment with either Hexafluorine or calcium gluconate is required to deal with hydrofluoric acid contamination. Like all of the emergency treatments, Diphoterine solution is not a substitute for professional medical attention, so immediate attention from emergency medical personnel should always be sought, especially if the chemical spill was ...
