For whatever it's worth, here is a link to the package insert from
Crofab (it's in PDF format, so you'll need the free Adobe Acrobat
Reader to view the file):

There is some information about the pharmicokinetics of the drug,
but it is pretty limited. And from what I can find on the net, it looks
like Crofab is the only game in town, as Wyeth has stopped making
the older antivenom formula, perhaps because it used to cause
severe allergic reactions many patients.
