Antidote

An antidote was a substance, generally a potion, that would typically counteract poisons. Other antidotes worked against specific ailments or counteracted specific potions. Sometimes time was all that was needed for certain magical effect to wear off, such as in the case of Polyjuice Potion, but others required a special application to counteract such effects. Antidotes were essential study for Aurors. The Mandrake formed an essential part of most antidotes., Chapter 10 (Mandrakes; Ron's Howler) There was a sign at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries reading "Antidotes are anti-don'ts unless approved by a qualified Healer." Antidotes were studied in third-year and fourth-year Potions classes at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Some poisons could not be cured with antidotes.
