Naming Guidelines

  • Use antivenom, not antivenin, for FSNs and Preferred Terms.  Synonyms containing antivenin will are not be created routinely , but may be created upon request. Existing concepts that are not consistent with this naming convention will be cleaned up as a batch at a later date. 
  • FSNs should be based on the scientific name , if there is a one-to-one correspondence. Naming conventions for polyvalent antivenoms (effective against multiple organisms) will not comply with this naming convention , and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Preferred Terms should be are based on the common name.
  • Synonyms based on the scientific name should be created in most cases.
