European Antivenom Standardization

European Antivenom Standardization refers to the process of ensuring that antivenoms—medications used to treat venomous bites or stings—are safe, effective, and consistent across Europe. It involves setting common guidelines and testing procedures for the production and quality of antivenoms, so that patients receive reliable treatment regardless of where they are in Europe. This standardization helps healthcare professionals confidently administer antivenom, improve patient outcomes, and reduce variations in treatment effectiveness, ultimately enhancing public health response to venomous incidents.
