TLDR
The present review has been focussed on the varied folk and traditional herbs and their antisnake venom compounds, which might be a stepping stone in establishing the future therapy against snake bite treatment and management.Abstract:
Snake bite, a major socio-medical problem of south east asian countries is still depending on the usage of antisera as the one and only source of treatment, which has its own limitations. In India, mostly in rural areas, health centres are inadequate and the snake bite victims mostly depend on traditional healers and herbal antidotes, as an alternative treatment. The present review has been focussed on the varied folk and traditional herbs and their antisnake venom compounds, which might be a stepping stone in establishing the future therapy against snake bite treatment and management.read more

Anti-venom potential of butanolic extract of Eclipta prostrata against Malayan pit viper venom.
Pimolpan Pithayanukul,Sasitorn Laovachirasuwan,Rapepol Bavovada,Narumol Pakmanee,Rutt Suttisri +4 more
TL;DR: The butanolic and purifiedbutanolic extracts of Eclipta prostrata were evaluated for their anti-venom potential and partially inhibited the hemorrhagic activity but displayed very low anti-phospholipase A2 activity and did not inhibit proteolytic activity of MPV venom.

Acute Hypersensitivity Reactions Associated With Administration of Crotalidae Polyvalent Immune Fab Antivenom
TL;DR: FabAV appears to be associated with a lower incidence of acute hypersensitivity than initially reported, and most reactions are mild and easily treated and do not preclude further dosing of antivenom.

Adjuvant effects and antiserum action potentiation by a (herbal) compound 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzoic acid isolated from the root extract of the Indian medicinal plant 'sarsaparilla' (Hemidesmus indicus R. Br.)
M.I. Alam,Aparna Gomes +1 more
TL;DR: The adjuvant effect and antiserum potentiation of a compound 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzoic acid, isolated and purified from the Indian medicinal plant Hemidesmus indicus R. Br, possessed antisnake venom activity raised the possibility of the use of chemical antagonists against snake bite, which may provide a better protection in presence of antisersum, especially in the rural parts of India.
