Typical dosage for Crofab
Crofab is given by a healthcare provider as an intravenous (IV) injection. This means that the medication is given as an injection through a vein (most likely in a hand or arm). Crofab should be given as soon as possible (or within 6 hours) after a snake bite.
The typical starting dose is 4 to 6 vials IV over 60 minutes. Depending on how severe the bite is, your starting dose can be up to 12 vials. Each vial of Crofab contains up to 1 gram of medication.
If you don’t experience any improvements an hour after the first dose, your healthcare team may give you additional doses of 4 to 6 vials until your symptoms start getting better.
Once your symptoms start to improve after the first dose(s), you’ll be given 2 vials every 6 hours for up to 18 hours.
