Pralidoxime chloride（Cat No.:A000063）, is a pharmaceutical compound used as an antidote for organophosphate and carbamate pesticide poisoning. It works by reactivating acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that helps regulate nerve signals, which is inhibited by these toxins. Pralidoxime chloride can reverse the toxic effects of these chemicals, such as muscle weakness and respiratory distress, by restoring proper nerve function. It is often administered in combination with other treatments, like atropine, to manage pesticide poisoning.
