Emergency Preparedness Professional
As a governmental crisis and/or terrorism preparedness decision-maker at the federal, state, or local level you are typically the key decision maker in “all hazard” preparedness.
On this site you will find information about the dangers of cyanide poisoning and—more importantly—why having CYANOKIT® by your side is a wise preparedness measure. CYANOKIT® gives you an effective tool to treat cyanide poisoning victims, right there at the scene. In fact, CYANOKIT® is the only FDA-approved emergency antidote indicated for both known and suspected cyanide poisoning.29
The active ingredient in CYANOKIT® is hydroxocobalamin, which forms a strong bond with cyanide, forming nontoxic cyanocobalamin, another form of vitamin B12, which can then be safely excreted by the kidneys from the body.29 It is designed specifically to be used on the scene or at the hospital for acute cyanide poisoning from any source.
CYANOKIT® has been shown to be generally safe and well-tolerated29, and has been effectively used in Europe for more than 10 years.36
