Pasteur serums?

[Georgen]

I would like to ask you if any of you know if the Patseur's FAV-AFRIQUE works good in case of envenomation by bitis gabonica and bitis arietans.
I am really interest in the near feauture obtain antivenom because in my country there is not any antivenom bank.It will be easyer bring that serum that is maid inside EU than serum from Africa.But if that pasteur's serum dont work good in case of a bite i will prefer ofcourse the S.A.I.M.R's serum.
Please answer only if you really have any informations about that serum.
Thank you verry much.

As far as I know it is effective against those species. We used to stock it against Echis and Cerastes, but now use SAVP and Saudi Arabian National Guard stuff.

Georgen we would all use the local antivenom (SAVP) because it covers far more species and cheap and is easily available.

Even if we travelled anywhere where it would be required we would still rather take a product that we are familiar with.
