<unk>  poisoning can be treated with fomepizole, or if unavailable,<unk>  may be used. Both drugs act to reduce the action of alcohol dehydrogenase on<unk>  by means of competitive inhibition.<unk> , the active ingredient in alcoholic beverages, acts as a competitive inhibitor by more effectively binding and saturating the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme in the liver, thus blocking the binding of<unk> .<unk>  is excreted by the kidneys without being converted into the very toxic metabolites formaldehyde and formic acid. Alcohol dehydrogenase instead enzymatically converts<unk>  to acetaldehyde, a much less toxic organic molecule. Additional treatment may include sodium bicarbonate for metabolic acidosis, and hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration to remove<unk>  and formate from the blood. Folinic acid or folic acid is also administered to enhance the metabolism of formate.
