What is the treatment for radiation poisoning?

Treatment for radiation poisoning primarily focuses on decontamination, supportive care, and symptomatic management. Patients may receive treatments such as potassium iodide to protect the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine and agents like Prussian blue or DTPA to help remove certain radioactive materials from the body. Supportive care may include fluids, medications for nausea and pain, and treatments for infections or other complications. In severe cases, bone marrow transplants may be considered for patients with significant damage to their blood cells.
