What are anti tetanus serum drugs?
Anti-tetanus serum drugs are the medications which are injected as a vaccine to prevent a person from getting tetanus. The most commonly used drug is called tetanus toxoid.

Should you give anti tetanus serum and tetanus toxoid to a 3 year old baby?
Either can be given to a 3 year old. The anti tetanus serum should be given if there is reason to believe the child has not been immunized against tetanus before and has been exposed. If the child has been immunized, and there is reason to believe that they have been infected, the toxoid should be administered.
What is the drug of choice if patient is anti tetanus serum positive?
Tetanus is caused by a toxin released by a bacterial organism. The serum contains antibodies to the toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. The antibodies inactivate the toxin in the blood stream and prevent an individual from experiencing tetanus.
What is the difference of tetanus toxoid to anti-tetanus serum?
The best answer I have found relating to the "difference" between toxoid and anti serum or anti toxin revolves more around the reason for application. While both may give the same result, the reason for application of each is quite different. Toxoids are given with a view to preventing or avoiding infection. Anti-toxins and Anti-serums are given in medical emergency when it might otherwise be too late to save a life. So, Toxoid to avoid or Anti-toxin in need of quick fixin! Harvey
How long after injury do you get tetanus shot?
Even to day, some one comes and ask for ATS injection. Anti tetanus serum injection is very dangerous to give. The patient may get the anaphylactic reaction. This preparation is no longer used. Any serum preparation is dangerous. You need to be protected by anti tetanus injection. With proper wound care the anti tetanus serum is not required.
Why is aN ANTI tetanus vaccination given?
Antisera is given to patients because it contains specific antibodies to the tetanus toxin. By binding, antibody to toxin, the toxin is neutralized. Otherwise, the toxin will cause tetanic musscle contractions seen in patients. This antisera causes a much faster response than the toxoid that is used as a vaccination. In this senario, a innactive form of the tetanus toxin (which is a toxoid) is introduced to healthy individuals. This toxoid causes the body (specifically B-cells) to produce antibodies and most importantly memory cells. Individuals who have circulating levels of antibody are considered immune to tetanus because the body will combat the pathogen before it has a chance to produce toxins.
