Fab antivenom
Fab antivenom is a specialized treatment derived from antibodies that specifically target and neutralize venom from certain snakes. It contains fragments of antibodies called Fab fragments, which bind to venom toxins, preventing them from harming the body. This type of antivenom is designed to be faster-acting and less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to older formulations. It is used in cases of snakebite envenomation to reduce symptoms and prevent severe complications, making it a vital tool in emergency medicine for snakebite victims.
