There is a kit Called Mark I. It is carried by Paramedics and military medics mainly after sept 11, 2001. It is in the form of a autoinjection pen sort of like the epi pens carried by people with extreme Allergies (bee stings, Peanuts ect...) There are two drugs. the first drug is atropine. Atropine works on the body to dry up the secretions caused by . the nerve agent. the second drug is pralidoxime chloride that helps the body block the nerve agent
you would also want a anti convulsant on hand. Versed is a strong benzo that is perferred. I hope that answed your question. I am a Paramedic that has recieved extensive training in nerve agens since that dreaded day in 2001. Good luck
