1 who the fuck decides what the united States restricts it is ridiculous

2 if you were to make a homade naak for experimentation could you leave the atropine sulfate and pralidoxime chloride in the same assembly mixed or would they combine to make something else in the assembly

I dont actually trust myself to make something I inject into my own body right now so this is mainly atheoretical but if y’all have suggestions on literature about the synthesis I would gladly take it, same for any other medication synthesis just because I like knowing how to make things

    I was not actually planning on doing it because as I said I do not trust my ability to keep sterile enough for something like that

    The primary question was not about synthesis of the individual chemicals but about storage in the injector assembly

    The us government gen 1 and 2 nerve agent kits keep the atropine and Pralidoxime in separate injectors but the duodote nerve agent kits are typically only one injector and I was curious if mixing them in normal circumstances would cause changes in the structure or if they were nonreactive to eachother.

    If I am not mistaken the question about regulatory bodies that control medicine was mainly rhetorical because I was tired when I wrote it

    I know a tiny bit about chemistry but I know a bit about medicine so it was primarily hoping to get some info on the 2 drugs that are in it and how they mix and react to eachother

      I’d imagine they do not react when mixed. I do not know whether the mixture is shelf stable and can be stored like that or if additives are required. I’d look into the formulations of the actual injectors you’re mentioning to see whether they provide any useful information.

        I just did some looking and I think the combo injectors keep them in 2 separate chambers before injection but the info on it and anything other than the main 2 active chemicals is sparse from what I have seen
