VENOMVET™ is a polyvalent antivenin using the venoms from various snake species to create a proprietary antivenin effective against all varieties of United States rattlesnakes, copperheads and water moccasins (Crotalids). Because of its polyvalent character, it is effective in immunological cross neutralization.  

VENOMVET™ is new technology: it is composed of divalent F(ab’)2 fragments that have two binding sites per molecule that form multimolecular immune complexes with the toxin allowing it to bind more of the venom therefore neutralizing more molecules of toxin per molecule of fragments.

VENOMVET™ has a molecular mass of approximately 100 kDa and is not eliminated by the renal route and therefore has a prolonged half-life in the patient of between 2 and 4 days versus a Fab product that has a short half-life elimination of between 4 and 24 hours. The pharmacokinetic profile of VENOMVET™ makes it extremely effective and efficient in reversing the effects of snakebite envenomation.
