Antivenom





CroFab® Crotalidae Polyvalent Immune Fab (Ovine) is an antivenin indicated for the management of patients with North American crotalid envenomation. The term crotalid refers to the Crotalinae subfamily (formerly known as Crotalidae) of venomous snakes that includes rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths/water moccasins. Early use of CroFab® (within 6 hours of snakebite) is advised to prevent clinical deterioration and the occurrence of systemic coagulation abnormalities.
