An antidote typically refers to an agent that counters the effect of a poison or harmful substance ingested into the body by various means. A cure is more general term for a remedy for a disease (or more broadly any problem)

E.g. An antidote for a food additive that causes an allergy

A cure for a headache

A cure is a treatment that eliminates a disease or condition from the body, while an antidote is a substance that neutralizes the effects of a poison or toxin in the body. Cures address the underlying cause of a condition, while antidotes counteract the effects of a specific substance.
