Be prepared in case a snake strikes!

If you are out and about or active in snake territory, this useful guide can help educate you about North American venomous pit viper snakes (including rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths), how to best avoid them, and what to do and what NOT to do should a snake strike happen!

Selected Safety Information about CroFab®

In clinical trials, recurrent coagulopathy (the return of a coagulation abnormality after it has been successfully treated with antivenin), characterized by decreased fibrinogen, decreased platelets, and elevated prothrombin time, occurred in approximately half of the patients studied. Recurrent coagulopathy may persist for 1 to 2 weeks or more. Patients who experience coagulopathy due to snakebite should be monitored for recurrent coagulopathy for up to 1 week or longer.
