Antivenom Production Guidelines

Antivenom production guidelines ensure the safe and effective creation of treatments for snake, spider, or other venomous bites. The process involves collecting venom from the animal, which is then injected into a host animal, like horses or sheep, in small amounts to trigger antibody production. These antibodies are harvested, purified, and formulated into antivenom. Guidelines specify quality control standards, such as testing potency, safety, and sterility, to ensure the final product can effectively neutralize venom without causing harm to patients. Overall, these protocols aim to produce reliable, safe antivenom for those bitten by venomous creatures.
