In severe cases, repetitive doses may be appropriate; the necessity of an infusion therapy should be the exception. In tabun poisoning no effective reactivation may be expected and in soman poisoning fast aging will prevent reactivation under realistic conditions. Reactivation of V-agents needs a different assessment. Generally, obidoxime, HI-6 and pralidoxime appear to be good reactivators for VX, while pralidoxime appears less efficient in VR poisoning. Slow and progressive inhibition of AChE was shown in percutaneous VX poisoning, which opens a therapeutic window for oxime administration prior to the onset of signs of poisoning.
