the company that was producing it, pfizer inc, stopped making it. coral snake bites are so rare that it wasn't profitable or feasible to keep supplies stocked. however there is a new company instituto bioclon, that is trying to develop a new antivenin, but that could take several years.

this info is regarding north american, new world corals.
