Warm the solution to near body temperature prior to administration. Intramuscular injection should be made into the heavy musculature of the hind leg or cervical area.
While venomous snake bites have been treated with antihistaminic drugs, other conjunctive therapy is required because of toxic reactions associated with the protein complex of venom.
