    This treatment won't be cheap. A 2018 study of Varespladib to treat coral snake venom in pigs - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6265968/ - found an effective dosage of 1 mg per kg of patient body weight, so about 50 mg of Varespladib would be needed to treat an adult person.

    Current pricing can be found from chemical supply stores. These are not drug makers, these stores sell to the makers, and of course there's going to be a ton of markup by the maker and then the retailer. Unless someone has an awesomely generous pharmacy/insurance plan or guaranteed low co-pays, I don't see a keeper being able to afford keeping a dose at home.
