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 exposure and—more importantly—why having CYANOKIT® Antidote by your side is a wise preparedness measure. CYANOKIT® Antidote gives you an effective tool to treat victims, right there at the scene and to help protect our nation. In fact, CYANOKIT® Antidote is the only emergency antidote indicated for both known and suspected cyanide poisoning.
The active ingredient is hydroxocobalamin, which forms a strong bond with cyanide, converting it to Vitamin B12, which can then be safely excreted from the body. It is designed specifically to be used on the scene or at the hospital for acute cyanide poisoning from any source.
CYANOKIT® Antidote has been proven generally safe and well-tolerated, even in suspected cases, and has been effectively used in Europe for more than 10 years.
