Particularly Necrotoxin and Corroglow are cool ideas, but I don't see Detoxifene getting much use. It's yet another anti-tox chem, with charcoal already mostly being replaced by Pentetic Acid. Not to mention charcoal has the benfit of being available in large doses from round start and is an easy way to patch up specific organs, so you'd end up injecting them with that anyhow.

I'd rather see Detoxifene to have bigger drawbacks and a stronger effect as a whole, maybe combined with OD effects. That would just make it a more interesting addition, in my opinion.

I agree that Detoxifene won't see much use, but for a different reason. Omnizine already purges toxins without purging other chems, and having something that does it slightly faster but far worse (organ damage, faster depletion rate and lower overdose rate) would make it very much unused. Even potassium iodide would be preferred because while you'd be getting more organ damage, you'd also be able to whip the stuff out far faster and easier than needing to heat up two different chemicals and mix it all together.

If we want a chem that heals toxins and doesn't purge chemicals, we 100% gotta buff it up in some way. So, here's an odd idea to keep it in theme: why not make it so other medical chems in the system actually stick around longer? A sort of anti-calomel. Gives doctors something to experiment with, and could actually be used as a poison to lengthen an overdose.
