Snake venom is composed of proteins, polypeptides, and metal ions and serves a variety of tasks, including producing paralysis and death and digesting prey.

  • Snake venom proteins are currently classified into three primary types: hemotoxins, which cause bleeding, neurotoxins, which impact the neurological system, and myotoxins, which harm the muscular system.

Snake antivenom is a drug made composed of antibodies that are used to treat poisonous snake bites.

  • It's a kind of antivenom.
  • It is a biological product made up of venom-neutralizing antibodies generated from a host animal, often a horse or sheep.
