Curare is not hazardous if taken by mouth; it must be administered into the bloodstream. When it is in the blood, it can cause paralysis of all nerves and muscles.
Curare is a toxic substance that acts as a neuromuscular blocker, primarily affecting the body's ability to transmit nerve impulses to muscles. If swallowed, it is unlikely to be lethal because it typically requires injection to have its toxic effects. However, ingesting curare can still be dangerous, as it may cause gastrointestinal distress or other health issues. Always seek immediate medical attention if curare is ingested.
The majority are given orally in pill form.
No animal eats the plant curare. This is because the plant curare is toxic. The plant is poisonous and therefore is not consumed by animals.
It can be given orally or as an injection.
it will irritate the intestinal mucosa.
Sodium pentathol can be taken orally but it is most commonly given by injection. Sodium pentathol is used as an anesthetic and given before surgery.
One example of a drug that is a prodrug activated by colonic bacteria when given orally is sulfasalazine. In the colon, bacteria cleave the molecule, releasing the active components, sulfapyridine and 5-aminosalicylic acid, which are then absorbed and exert their therapeutic effects in conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

CURARE PARAlYSES MUSCELS
Curare is a good antidote for organophosphate poisoning because it acts as a competitive antagonist at the neuromuscular junction, blocking the effects of excessive acetylcholine caused by organophosphate inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. This helps to alleviate muscle paralysis and respiratory distress associated with organophosphate toxicity. However, curare does not reverse the underlying toxic effects on the central nervous system, so it is often used in conjunction with other treatments like atropine and pralidoxime for comprehensive management.
