Among other medical works, he wrote one of the first medical books on antidotes called Aqrabadhin ({{lang|ar|القراباذين}}), which was divided into 22 volumes, and which was possibly the earliest of its kind to influence Islamic medicine. This antidotary enjoyed much popularity until it was superseded Ibn al-Tilmidh's version later in the first half of twelfth century.
