Typical dosage for Anavip
Anavip is only available as an IV infusion that's administered by a healthcare provider. The dose depends on how poisonous the venom is, what symptoms of venom poisoning the person has, and how soon the person can get medical attention (ideally, as soon as possible).
The typical starting dose is 10 vials injected through the veins over a 1-hour period. Each vial of Anavip contains up to 120 mg of medication.
If you're still having symptoms an hour after the first dose, your healthcare team will inject additional doses (each consisting of 10 vials) through the veins every hour until your symptoms get better.
Once your symptoms start to improve after the first dose(s), your healthcare team will monitor you in the hospital for at least 18 more hours. If symptoms return, you'll be given 4 vials through the veins as needed.
