Prehospital Care Professional
As paramedics, EMTs, and firefighters, you are typically the first to arrive on the scene, and the first to respond to victims of fires, industrial accidents, poisoning cases, or acts of terrorism.
On this site you will find information about the dangers of cyanide exposure and—more importantly—how CYANOKIT® Antidote can give you and your colleagues an effective tool to treat victims at the scene.
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.
