Results: All antidotes mentioned in NEDL are present not in a single hospital of Lahore. Atropine (87%), Flumazenil (80%), Magnesium Sulphate (80%) were present in majority of the hospitals. On the contrary, Penicillamine, Obidoxime and Sodium Thiosulphate were obsolete in all hospitals. Although antidotes were not fully available in both government and private hospitals of Lahore but the situation is worse in case of private hospitals. Conclusion: High cost and late procurement are the reasons for Delay in treatment of poisoned patients. Not a single Poison Control Center is present in Lahore. Affirmative actions should be taken to improve the accessibility of antidotes in hospitals. There is emergent need to establish Poison Control Center.
