Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated, as of September 2018, that the only products approved for cyanide poisoning are the following: Cyanokit (hydroxocobalamin injection), Nithiodote (sodium nitrite and sodium thiosulfate for intravenous infusion), sodium nitrite injection, and sodium thiosulfate injection. The three available antidotes are given via intravenous (IV) infusion and, therefore, can only be administered by qualified healthcare professionals.Īntidote kits containing inhaled amyl nitrite are no longer commercially available.
