Abstract
1 The cation-exchange-resin KayexalateR has an adsorption capacity for paraquat 15 times greater than activated charcoal and 6 times greater than Adsorbin. The oral LD 50 of paraquat in rats rose 2.1 times by intragastric injection of Kayexalate.1 2 In the present study, the survival rate of rats given Kayexalate or Adsorbin after paraquat administration was examined. Results of clinical studies on 22 patients are also presented.Keywords
