Beschreibung

Edetate calcium disodium dihydrate is an antidote for poisoning by lead, mercury, or arsenic. It is a chelating agent that binds to the metal ions and prevents their absorption into the body. The chemical reaction of edetate calcium disodium dihydrate with lead, mercury, or arsenic produces a stable precipitate that is eliminated in urine. This drug has been shown to be effective when given as a single dose and has been used in clinical trials for long-term efficacy and optimum concentration. Edetate calcium disodium dihydrate has also been used to treat bowel disease and symptoms of lead toxicity such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, and muscle weakness.
