Summary

This study tests whether oral medications can help treat snakebites, reducing disability and death. It involves 504 adults in Brazil and Ghana who were bitten within 12 hours. The drugs, originally developed for other conditions, are given early in clinics or ambulances, with standard antivenom also provided. The goal is to see if these pills improve blood clotting and can eventually replace or supplement antivenom.
