Here are 8 images describing a couple poisonings. Kloss and Bruce have a website with more flashcards and info if the toxicology side of poisonings interest you.
Here are a few more things.
Dialysable toxins are toxins that can be filtered out of the blood with dialysis (done in hospitals), if this is done, the poisoning can be stopped.
Activated charcoal is used in a similar manner but instead it is given orally to bind to toxins in the stomach. A lot of poisonings can have very low to no effects when charcoal is administered within a certain time (30min to a few hours).
As a last note, this information may be inaccurate (they are not based on the most recent studies) and the information should be used as a starting point.
For exemple, one should look into strychnine and its effects before ingesting it just because the pictures said it is potentially lethal. Strychnine is indeed lethal and does produce seizures but they are notably painful. (this is not mentioned in the image)
