Antidotes and Antivenom Administration

Antidotes and antivenoms are treatments used in cases of poisoning or snake bites. An antidote is a substance that counteracts the effects of a specific poison, helping to restore normal body function. Antivenom, on the other hand, is created from antibodies that neutralize venom from snake bites. Both are administered by healthcare professionals, often in emergency situations. They can significantly improve outcomes by reducing toxicity and preventing serious harm. Timely administration is crucial, so it’s important to seek medical help immediately if poisoning or a snake bite occurs.
