Nalorphine is an antidote for which of the following poisons ?
Answer: A
Nalorphine is an antidote for opium poisoning.
Nalorphine is an opioid antagonist that reverses the respiratory depression of opium and its alkaloids such as morphine. It has largely been replaced by naloxone, but it is still the classic answer in toxicology texts; it was also used in the nalorphine test for opioid addiction.
Cocaine poisoning is treated with sedation and supportive care, dhatura (atropine-like alkaloids) with physostigmine, and strychnine with barbiturates or diazepam and muscle relaxants. Nalorphine does not counteract any of them.
