Snake Antivenin Injection contains a combination of active ingredients: standard cobra venom (Naja naja), standard common krait venom (Bangarus caeruleus), standard Russel's viper venom (Vipera russelli), and snake venom antiserum (Polyvalent).

• Standard cobra venom works by neutralizing hydrochloric acid in gastric secretions, potentially inhibiting the action of pepsin.
• It may also have cytoprotective effects due to its content of bicarbonate ions and prostaglandins.
• Standard common krait venom works by inhibiting blood clotting factors and causing muscle paralysis.
• Standard Russel's viper venom affects blood clotting mechanisms, leading to coagulopathy.
• Snake venom antiserum helps neutralize the toxins present in snake venom.

These active ingredients work together to neutralize the toxins present in snakebite envenomation, thereby preventing further harm.
