Common antidotes

The most common modern substance which has antidotal effects on remedies is coffee. Not all remedies are antidoted by coffee so if you want to make sure, look up the antidotes in a materia medica. Clarke's Dictionary of Practical Materia Medica is the most thorough reference.

Other possible antidotes can be black or green teas, herbal teas such as chamomile, and any over-the-counter cold remedy containing camphor. Prescription drugs or street drugs will mask symptoms but not necessarily antidote them.
