Antidotes

Currently, the profession of a military medic is not the most respected and popular. Although it remains quite important in ensuring the stability and security of the state, the work of military doctors often negatively affects the health of military personnel. Therefore, today it is so important to promptly pay attention to the impact of combat operations on the health of soldiers and ways to preserve their life and performance. In order to achieve the goal of saving people, it is necessary to create and use effective means of providing assistance and support to health services. Antidotes are just such a remedy.

When containing chemical weapons, there is a risk that chemical agents can penetrate solid objects and surfaces, such as clothing, respirators and other personal protective equipment, and affect combatants in the immediate vicinity. To avoid the effects of chemicals on people, they need to take timely protective and preventive measures, the so-called antidotes.

Antidotes are special drugs that can neutralize the effect of toxic substances in the human body, reduce their effect on tissues, and also increase the body's resistance. They are used in an integrated approach to protect the population and personnel from man-made disasters and other adverse environmental impacts. Often, employees of the Russian Armed Forces are faced with the need to use antidotes. These measures make it possible to avoid the harmful effects of xenobiotics (extraterrestrial poisons) during military service in other countries of the world.
