Antivenoms

Antivenoms are agents that treat venom poisoning. They work by providing antibodies that protect against the venom.

Why are antivenoms prescribed?

  1. Venom Poisoning (100%)

Key takeaways

Antivenoms are used to treat snake bites, scorpion stings, and spider bites. Antivenoms work by neutralizing the venom, which helps to stop the damage it causes to your body. These medications are usually given as injections. Examples include crotalidae immune F(ab')2 (Anavip) and crotalidae polyvalent immune Fab (Crofab). You will receive these treatments in a healthcare setting to ensure they work effectively and safely.
