Accidentally I quick-saved the game after a fight against a swarm of cazadors. I didn't recognize that my companion, Rex, was poisoned and remained with only 41 hp. He dies after 15 seconds of savegame loading.
I have spent 15 stimpacks in order to prevent him die after quick-save loading (he dies after 15s with no stimpacks) and loading a previous savegame was not in discussion because I made more than 1 hour before.
Are other possibilities to cure companions from venom? It seems they are affected more then me by continuously damage.
Update: Forgot to say that I play on PC in hardcore mode.

I'm sorry. Assuming that you are on hardcore mode, you will just have to suck up the stimpack loss. You could try giving him some antivenom and seeing if he will use it, but I didn't manage to get that to work.
On the other hand, 15 stimpacks is not so bad. You should be able to handle the loss :).
