Are P-tabs used to counteract nerve agent poisoning?

Answer 1

The answer depends on when the tablets are used. According to USA's recommendations, the medication needs to be taken 8 hours before a known attack and before the symptoms of nerve agent poisoning start. Accordingly, there's no significant effect if taken immediately before or worst, after the symptoms start. In those circumstances, the use of the three injectable ATNAA with or without use of the injectable CANA if severe symptoms occur is indicated.
