Abstract
Abstract Poisoning is bit unique as it has medico legal implications. For the correct diagnosis and appropriate management of poisoning, the case history, examination findings, information and knowledge of the toxin involved plays a critical role. The poisoning symptoms are divided into six toxidromes which helps us to identify the nature of the toxin and guides us its management. The management per se involves management of airway, breathing and circulation, topical and gastric decontamination, specific antidotes, if available, chelation therapy, haemodialysis for dialyzable toxins and supportive therapy.
