Drugs There is an antitoxin stored at the CDC. To arrange to use this antitoxin, call your state health department (or CDC at 404-639-2206 or 404-639-3753 workdays, or call weekends or evenings at 404-639-2888). This chemotherapy (antitoxin) available from CDC is a licensed trivalent equine antitoxin for serotypes A, B, and E. There is no reversal of botulism disease with this drug, but the antitoxin does usually prevent further nerve damage. The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has a heptavalent equine despeciated antitoxin for serotypes A - G (IND). DOD also has pentavalent toxoid (vaccine) for serotypes A - E (IND). The currently recommended schedule is for use at zero, two, and twelve weeks with a one year booster. This vaccine is supposed to induce solidly protective antitoxin levels in greater that 90 percent of those vaccinated after one year.

This database is a list of everything that the military medical system thinks it will need to care for chemical and biological casualties. It was produced by the Joint Readiness Clinical Advisory Board (JRCAB). COL Cornelius Maher, commander, based upon the recommendations of the chemical and biological panels of 1999 and 2001. The chemical panels included members of the US Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense staff. The biological panels included members of the staff at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.
