TREATMENT FOR ENVENOMATION

摘要

There is described a method for treating envenomation of a mammal in which inhibition of lymphatic flow is desirable. The method comprises administering an effective amount of at least one nitric oxide releasing or generating compound to the site of envenomation of the mammal or proximal thereto. The method is particularly suitable for treating elapid envenomation such as from the bite of an elapid snake.
