A fatal dose of vx gas causes convulsions, respiratory paralysis, and death within several minutes.

Be Prepared

The most effective treatment for VX gas is the immediate injection of a mix of the drugs atropine and pralidoxime chloride, which counteract the effects of the nerve agent on the peripheral nervous system and help victims breathe, and diazepam, which counteracts the central nervous system effects of VX nerve gas, including seizures.
