Medical Lexicon 6:

"Antidotus"

Related terms: "Alexipharmaca", "Anodyna".

Antidote was called in ancient medicine an internal medicament, that is a medicament that, absorbed by the body through digestion, had the capacity to heal it. By extension, it became synonymous with any medicament able to contrast deadly poisons, called "Alexipharmaca". Its effects were not inducive of sleep and thus differed from those of the medicaments called "Anodyna".

Source: Bartolomeo Castelli, "Lexicon Medicum Graeco-Latinum" (Messina 1598): 28
