How does the use of a drug for treating clots offer protection against cobra venom damage
Explain the mechanism through which a drug used for clot treatment can prevent damage from cobra venom.
Using a drug for treating clots can offer protection against cobra venom damage through the following mechanism:
- Clotting agents help in faster clot formation at the site of cobra venom injection.
- This rapid clotting can limit the spread of venom throughout the body.
- By preventing the venom from circulating, the drug reduces its overall toxic effects.
- The clotting process can also help in containing the venom at the site of injection, minimizing tissue damage.
- Additionally, the drug's ability to enhance clot formation can improve the chances of survival by preventing excessive bleeding caused by the venom.
