Skywalker administers antidote to manax-root poison

"Lott Dod poisoned her. She's dying."
"I'll take her to the doctors on Coruscant!"
"There's not enough time for that! Lott Dod must have an antidote."

―Rush Clovis to Anakin Skywalker after Lott Dod poisoned Padmé Amidala

An antidote was a form of medicine specifically designed to counteract a poison.

History

In 22 BBY, Senator Lott Dod poisoned fellow senator Padmé Amidala with manax-root poison. The specific antidote for the poison was forcibly taken from Dod by Rush Clovis and administered via an injection by Anakin Skywalker.

MD-1 medical droids were programmed to develop antidotes, vaccines, and antibiotics in tandem with computers.
