English term

counteracting stimulant

English to Polish Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Termin pojawia się we fragmencie książki poświęconej umieraniu w szpitalu. Jak rozumiem, chodzi o środek podawany pacjentom, którym jednocześnie podaje się silne środki przeciwbólowe, żeby zneutralizować ich potencjalnie śmiertelne działanie.

By manipulating sedation, or its counteractants, she [the nurse] can ease the patient to death.

If the dose [of the painkiller] turns out to be fatal, then the nurse can withhold the counteracting stimulant.

I have found the site where your text comes from, and see that it may well have been written by Germans? Certainly some of the English is unusual:) and not always clear

Good luck in your quest.
