Oh no! The hero was just given an injection of Killsyoucine, the most deadly poison known to man! They're doomed! Wallowing in despair, they gorge themself on pop-tarts to drown out the pain...
...but wait... why are they feeling better?
Poisons come in all sorts of forms. So do, it seems, antidotes. Anything might turn out to be one! Often, the poisoned is not aware of the antidote until after it's been ingested, but in any case, rest assured that it won't be the last time it comes up.
If it almost immediately cures the poison or disease, then it's also a Magic Antidote. Sometimes these antidotes are the key to surviving the Self-Poisoning Gambit. Compare Curse That Cures, where the antidote is simply being sick with something else.

Strychnine is a well-known (and fairly dramatic) poison famously used in The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie. Curare was once used to make poisoned arrows and darts that caused almost instant paralysis. But the effects of the poisons are opposite so that either one can act as the other's antidote.

The Lamasu coming in Might and Magic: Heroes 6 will have some sort of a poison or disease effect - with them themselves being a result of failed experiments on manticores, then made undead by the necromancers to counter the short lifespan and fragility of living results. The poison effect will persist through a battle, but be cured as soon as the battle ends. The Hand Wave given by the developers? The soldiers need to just take a short nap to be cured. Also counts as an Universal Poison, as it can affect various breeds of demons, humans, and hybrids (acting as greenskin) alike.

His Fair Assassin: In Grave Mercy, Gavriel Duval is poisoned by an unknown enemy, and Ismae — ironically a Master Poisoner herself — is left scrambling to find the antidote. But because she doesn't know what kind of poison it is, she has no way of counteracting it. Then, once she discovers what poison was used, the only cure she knows about will be impossible to find in time. As it turns out, Ismae herself is a cure for any poison. She is immune to poison, and skin-on-skin contact with her quite literally draws the poison out of whoever is affected and neutralizes it. Considering how she goes about saving him, it gives a whole new meaning to Intimate Healing.

An interesting usage by House, as well as an example of Truth in Television. One episode features a death row inmate who has tried to kill himself by drinking several bottles of copier fluid. House sits by the guy's bedside as his condition worsens, and the two of them each down several shots of high-proof rum. Only after a while does House reveal the truth: copier fluid is about 90% methanol, or wood alcohol, and the treatment for that is large amounts of ethanol, or grain alcohol. All those shots he had the guy drinking were slowly curing him.

A variation occurs in The Secret Show, where the entire population of Helsinki is forced to hate Victor Volt and Anita Knight, the protagonists. The cure? A batch of chocolate chip cookies Professor Professor made that turn a consumer's head into a balloon for a maximum of 2 hours, 30 minutes, and 10 seconds.

Many of the antidotes for effects brought on by the powers of Stitch's cousins in Lilo & Stitch: The Series fit this trope, along with Weaksauce Weakness. For example:
Mud is the only stuff capable of dissolving a sticky substance whose purpose is to bind incompatible individuals created by Experiment 251, the flimsiest reason given by Jumba being that mud is found nowhere in the galaxy other than Earth.
Experiment 323 is essentially a Love Potion bird that makes whomever it pecks fall in love with the first person they see. The effects are reversed by being sprayed with water.
Angel, Stitch's Love Interest and initial Femme Fatale can turn experiments evil by singing a song until they hear it backwards.

In the Galaxy Angel manga, Chitose (under a very complex example of Brainwashed and Crazy) uses a special poppy seed to poison the entire Angel Troupe. After escaping and kidnapping Tact, it turns out that the antidote was an uncommon spice - that happened to be in the fried chicken Milfeulle had just made and they had all been eating. (In spite of one of the group supposedly being a religious Vegetarian.) Milfie's power is extreme luck, though, so...

Brewing alchemical potions is a useful skill in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but if you don't have a potion, you can sometimes improve your health by ingesting one of the ingredients from that potion. It's not as effective as the potion itself, but in a pinch it will help. The trope comes in when you look at the list of ingredients which qualify for this, and realize that you can improve your health by snacking on things like butterfly wings, swamp fungal pods, and the eyes of sabre cats.

Ascendance of a Bookworm: A plot point is that the Devouring Myne is afflicted with can only be treated with expensive magical items. Myne finds out that a common fruit has the same effect by pure chance. The fact that doing so causes the fruit to transform into the seed of a very dangerous tree keeps the treatment from being used casually. However, Myne just so happens to also have personal use for young branches of the tree in question, and cutting them off when they first show up keeps the tree from maturing into its dangerous form.

The Rowan of Rin series did this with one of the fish-people tribes having created one hundred poisons and an antidote for each. The one that poisons his mother had a very strange antidote, which that last of the antidote had been used up. One handful of silver sand that can only be found in a pool of water that has carnivorous fish, the juice of a flower that grows underwater in that pool, a fresh feather from a monstrous bird that hunts the fish, and, the best one, a drop of venom from the sea serpent queen that crawls onto land to that pool just to lay her eggs in the pool once a year at that particular day that his mother was poisoned. At least he was given the recipe beforehand.

An episode of The Invisible Man series was centered on quicksilver-producing bacteria, which had eventually proven to be lethal. At the climactic moment, the cure was conveniently found... in mayonnaise. BAD mayonnaise to be specific; they realized it when one character who they had presumed was sick like everyone else turned out to just have food poisoning from his favorite lunch place. The bacteria in the food out-competed the quicksilver-producing bacteria, essentially saving everyone's lives by making them puke out their guts.

In Star vs. the Forces of Evil, several episodes show that entering the Realm of Magic very rapidly causes amnesia, and eventual loss of personality if you stay too long. In the series finale "Cleaved", it's revealed that there's an antidote to this: pudding. It turns out that Glossaryck, who's effectively the god of magic, being obsessed with the stuff was more than just a running gag after all.

In Case Closed, Conan is given a kind of Chinese alcohol called baijiu for his cold. It ends up temporarily canceling out the effects of Apotoxin, making him a teenager again. Unfortunately, when he tries it again a few days later, it doesn't work — Dr. Agasa theorizes his body developed an immunity. As later realized, the actual cure was the liquor in combination with a head cold — even an artificially-induced one.

Deconstructed in Temeraire books; while ill with the soon-to-be-fatal dragon flu, Temeraire unknowingly ingests the curing mushroom in a chef's experiment. The problem is that the recovery took over a week to become noticeable so they have no idea what Temeraire ate or did to get better, so they have to recreate his steps to actually figure out what caused it.

Doctor Who:
"The Green Death": The cure for the eponymous death turns out to be the dried spores of the fungus Professor Jones is working on as a solution to world hunger.
"The Unicorn and the Wasp": The Doctor cures himself of cyanide poisoning by covering himself in ginger beer, eating walnuts and anchovies, and getting kissed. Don't ask. Justified by the Doctor's well-known Bizarre Alien Biology. Not to mention the Rule of Funny. Technically the cure is ginger beer, something rich in protein, something salty (except for salt, which is too salty), and a shock. The aforementioned things were what happened to be located quickest.
"The Lodger": The Doctor cures Craig after he has been infected by the "rot" spreading from the ceiling by feeding him "agitated tannin molecules". He does this by stuffing every teabag he can find, including those in the bin, into the teapot and pouring the resultant brew down Craig's throat.

Played with in the third book of the Gaea Trilogy, Demon, where the "cure" for a genetically engineered zombie infestation turns out to be a traditional Love Potion recipe — somehow, that specific mixture of ingredients (never actually shown to have the intended effect, by the way) proves near-instantly fatal to the "zombie snakes" animating the corpses and causes them to collapse.

In Vertical Run by Joseph Garber, the hero has an engineered disease throughout the story that's progressing. In the end, after thwarting whatever evil scheme the bad guys had planned for it, he accepts his fate and goes to the mountains to spend his last days. The last page is a letter addressed to the Big Bad. There's blood on it. It tells the Big Bad that the disease cannot survive at higher altitudes, and to keep his head down. Apparently, he didn't.

Late in the movie, he reveals that the "cure" is actually the third member of their group, Poisonous Person Kagero. The poison that constantly circulates through her body and which can kill someone with minimal contact will neutralize the poison Jubei is suffering from. Somehow.

League of Legends features a character-specific example: Gangplank's "Remove Scurvy" ability has him eat an orange, which heals himself and — perhaps more importantly — instantly cleanses himself of any form of crowd control. The game's lore has been inconsistent as to whether they're magical in any way, but regardless, it's become widely accepted by fans that a normal orange is absolutely enough to trump whatever magical, reality-warping debuffs come your way.

In Strong Bad Email, "unnatural" Bubs is turned giant, presumably by the chicken wings he's been eating. Strong Sad comes to the conclusion that they need to change him back to normal by feeding him kashi, which is apparently the culinary opposite of chicken wings, and it actually works. But then it turns out the chicken wings weren't what made him giant, making the antidote even more improbable.

In the Marsupilami book "Le Temple de Boavista", the antidote to the pyramid temple's glow-in-the-dark poison (stated to eventually cause death by laughter) is to climb up the pyramid. The altitude at the top kills the microfauna in the poison.

In the Marvel Transformers series, Blaster and Bumblebee, along with baddies Blitzwing, Astrotrain, and Octane, are infected with robo-parasites known as Scraplets. They're downright adorable and can transform into life-size screws, nuts, and bolts. But they'll eat you alive from the inside out and it ain't pretty. The only cure: an extremely rare chemical compound. If they can't find it, goodies and baddies alike will have to be dissolved to stop the potential epidemic from spreading. Good thing that rare compound isn't nearly as rare on Earth. It's called water.
