Antidote

Antidotes (解毒薬, gedokuyaku) are types of medicines that act as a cure for various poisons. They can be administered to an infected person through several mediums. Some poisons are complex, and therefore creating the antidote will require careful attention or else it could potentially kill the victim; Sasori noted that when making antidotes not even a hairline mistake could be made or else it wouldn't work. However, specially trained, genius medical ninja like Tsunade, Shizune or Sakura Haruno can actually analyze and decipher the many different elements used in complex poisons and easily create a cure. They are usually a bottled liquid but can be anything to a flower or powder.
