Mexico's New Anti-Venom: A Pharmaceutical Win From Mexico to the U.S. Market

Did you know that Scorpion stings can cause blurred vision, slurred speech, nauseas and even death? An anti-venom being produced in Mexico was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a scorpion sting treatment. The first drug of its kind approved by FDA, the accomplishment is a result of 12 years of research and development. Scorpion stings are seen most prominently in Arizona, Southern Nevada, and New Mexico, as well as in Mexico and Morrocco.
