Oximes are enzyme reactivators used in treating poisoning with organophosphorus cholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. The oxime dose which can be safely administered is limited by the intrinsic toxicity of the substances such as their own AChE-inhibiting tendency. Clinical experience with the available
Metoclopramide (MCP) is a dopamine receptor antagonist and serotonin receptor agonist widely used as an antiemetic and gastric prokinetic drug. In addition, MCP is a reversible inhibitor of cholinesterases from the human central nervous system and blood, and may have a red blood cell (RBC) acetylcho
