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 amounts 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).
