Antivenins act by neutralizing the venoms (complex proteins) in patients via passive immunization of globulins obtained from horses immunized with the venom. Antivenin is very effective in reversing venom-related coagulation abnormalities, but Timber Rattlesnake venom-induced thrombocytopenia may be resistant to treatment.
This product is indicated for the treatment of envenomation from the Eastern coral snake ( _Micrurus fulvius fulvius_ ) and the Texas coral snake ( _Micrurus fulvius tenere_ ). It will not neutralize the venom form the Sonoran or Arizona coral snake ( _Micruroides euryxanthus_ ) or the Brazilian giant coral snake ( _Micrurus frontalis_ ). Coral snake envenomation is quite rare in the United States and approximately 60% of coral snake bites do not result in envenomation. Unlike pit viper venom, coral snake venom primarily causes neurotoxicity and clinical signs may be delayed. It has been recommended that animals suspected of a coral snake envenomation be hospitalized with close observation for 24 – 48 hours post-bite.
