Envenoming by saw-scaled vipers (Viperidae: Echis) leads to systemic hemorrhage coagulopathy represents a major cause of snakebite mortality morbidity in Africa Asia. The only specific treatment for snakebite, antivenom, has poor specificity low affordability must be administered clinical settings because its intravenous delivery high rates adverse reactions.
