The World's First
Universal Oral Antidote

Our broad-spectrum oral therapy, designed for rapid, accessible snakebite treatment, enabling earlier intervention and improving outcomes worldwide.

The burden

A devastating crisis the world keeps overlooking

Snakebite envenoming kills tens of thousands every year, mostly in rural regions where antivenom is unavailable, unaffordable or simply too late.

Our unique solution

An immediate pre-hospital approach

Traditional antivenom has barely changed since the 1890s and only works in hospital. Our oral combination therapy is designed for the critical first hours, wherever a bite happens.

Immediate intervention

Minimal delay between bite and treatment, addressing the critical pre-hospital window.

Broad-spectrum coverage

Multiple toxins targeted for broader protection across medically significant species.

Oral and field-ready

No IV, no cold chain. A format that reaches the most remote communities.

Protect tissue, preserve function

Designed to prevent the local tissue damage that existing antivenom cannot reach, and that causes lifelong disability in survivors.

Better outcomes

Early prevention of both local and systemic effects, improving survival and recovery.

Our mission

Supporting the WHO 2030 Goal

The World Health Organisation aims to halve the global burden of snakebite envenoming by 2030. The burden falls hardest on communities in South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Antigenika is developing a novel oral therapy to enable treatment immediately, wherever a bite occurs.
