reversing agents

Reversing agents are substances used in chemistry to neutralize or counteract the effects of an anesthetic, drug, or toxin. For example, in anesthesia, if a drug causes unwanted side effects, a reversing agent can be administered to block or undo its effects, restoring normal function. They work by interacting specifically with the targeted compound, effectively "turning off" its action. Reversing agents are crucial in medical settings for safely ending sedation or reversing drug overdoses, ensuring patient safety and better management of drugs' effects.
