Available antidotes are hydroxocobalamin (Cyanokit) and sodium thiosulfate and sodium nitrite (Nithiodote). Both are given intravenously. It also depends on how much cyanide is ingested.

Several antidotes are: sodium nitrite, sodium thiosulfate, hydroxocobalamin.
use amyl nitrate, sodium nitrate and sodium thiosulfate, each used in order to achieve the stability in the victim. the FDA-approved cynokit is an antidote that contains hydroxocobalamin, an intravenous drug. :) but double check on the computer or some thing!
It does. By use of sulfurtransferases residing within the body: Rhodanese and 3 Mercapto pyruvate. Rhodanese cleaves a sulfur ion from a donor substrate (usually a thiol) to Cyanide which forms Thiocyanate. It can be then easily excreted into the urine. Mercaptopyruvate donates its own sulfur ion to Cyanide to form pyruvate and thiocyanate.
Amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, sodium thiosulfate
The three components used in the treatment for cyanide exposure are hydroxocobalamin (Vitamin B12a), sodium thiosulfate, and sodium nitrite. These agents work to convert cyanide into less toxic compounds that the body can eliminate.
The binding of cyanide to cytochrome c oxidase prevents transport of electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen in the mitochondria.As a result, the electron transport chain is disrupted, meaning that the cell can no longer aerobically produce ATP for energy. The central nervous system and the heart, are particularly affected. Oral ingestion of a small quantity of solid cyanide or a cyanide solution as little as 200 mg, or to airborne cyanide of 270 ppm is sufficient to cause a very painful death within minutes.The binding of cyanide to cytochrome c oxidase prevents transport of electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen in the mitochondria.As a result, the electron transport chain is disrupted, meaning that the cell can no longer aerobically produce ATP for energy.

The first aid for cyanide exposure USED to be amyl nitrite. This is the stuff the Army issues as a blood agent antidote - cyanide is a blood agent. Unfortunately for the civilian population, this stuff is a controlled substance because you can get really high on it. They have found that Vitamin B12a, of all things, is REALLY good at cleaning cyanide out of your system. It is therefore the preferred treatment for cyanide poisoning.

Several examples of antidote against cyanide poisoning are:- sodium nitrite, NaNO2- sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3- hydroxocobalamin- 4-dimethylaminophenol
Symptoms of cyanocobalamin cyanide toxicity may include headache, dizziness, weakness, confusion, and difficulty breathing. Treatment options may include administering antidotes like hydroxocobalamin or sodium thiosulfate, providing supportive care, and monitoring for complications. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if cyanide toxicity is suspected.
Ozone is a chemical, so there is no difference.Ozone oxidizes cyanide to a less biologically toxic state (very rapid reaction), however organisms will (eventually) remove the extra oxygen to "breathe", making cyanide elsewhere.
Cyanide blocks the final step in the bodies energy producing pathway, known as the Electron Transport Chain. Cyanide prevents electrons being passed down this chain and producing the bodies fuel, known as ATP.
Several antidotes are: sodium nitrite, sodium thiosulfate, hydroxocobalamin.
Administer super-activated charcoal.
