Certain toxins can be made into antidotes by injecting small amounts of the toxin into an animal and then drawing the resultant antibodies from the blood of the host animal. This produces an antivenom that can be used to neutralize the venom of some snake species, spider species, and other animals that are venomous.

There is no "antidote" for some animal venoms, particularly those produced by arthropods (like some spiders, scorpions, and bees), but anaphylactic shock can be treated (e.g. with epinephrine). Certain animal venoms are only potentially fatal when they cause allergic reactions and induce anaphylactic shock.

The Global Antidote Market extends beyond its traditional role in treating snakebites. Antidotes are a diverse group of medications used to counteract the effects of various poisons, toxins, and drugs. This report explores the expanding applications of the Global Antidote Market and its potential for future growth.
