AB  - The  terms  “antivenom”  and  “antivenin”  often  are  used  interchangeably.  Although  the  origin  of  the  term  “antivenom”  is  obvious,  “venin”  is  French  for  venom  and  “antivenin”  is  traditionally  used  in  certain  parts  of  the  world.  Wyeth  Pharmaceuticals,  the  maker  of  Crotaline  and  Micrurus  antivenom,  and  Merck  &  Co,  Inc,  the  maker  of  Latrodectus  antivenom,  adopted  “antivenin”  in  the  brand  names  for  their  products.  Brand  name  recognition  was  largely  responsible  for  the  use  of  the  term  “antivenin”  in  place  of  “antivenom.”  In  1981,  the  World  Health  Organization  determined  the  preferred  terms  for  the  English  language  to  be  “venom”  and  “antivenom.”
