It can be interpreted that the treatments mentioned are in chronological order and can be used as per the stage in which the patient has been brought to the Vaidya. As the complication is increased the treatment methodology has to be changed from simple local techniques to highly evolved methods like the Kaakapaada Chikitsa. It is mentioned in some of the Malayalam texts of toxicology that when Visha enters the body it starts hunting the Prana/life of the person and the chase begins where the Visha is after the Prana. It is the amount of poison and the strength of the person together with the rapidity of the action of the drugs given which decides the prognosis. There is also a concept called Visha Kala and Amritha Kala which says that there are 15 vital points in the body and the poison affected to any one of these points on the days as per the Tithi mentioned in the Indian calender decides the prognosis and the intensity of the treatment required. Similar is the concept of Kaalavanchana where the poison in its total virulence in the body is nullified by the treatment methods aptly adopted.

This Agada is said to be very effective in all the modes of induction. It has the effect of Vishahara and at the same time it acts as a good prophylactic drug with a Rasayana property. The Agada is not available now and also not practised by any of the Visha Vaidyas in Kerala.
