• Description: EDTA is a specific antidote that is used to treat heavy metal poisoning. It binds to metals in the bloodstream and prevents them from being absorbed into the body. The optimum concentration of EDTA for treatment is 1-2 grams per liter. EDTA may be used as an antidote for lead, mercury, or arsenic poisoning. Symptoms of metal poisoning include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, and low blood pressure. EDTA may also be used to prevent kidney damage in patients with bowel disease or fatty acid-related kidney failure. EDTA has been shown to bind to DNA bases and form stable complexes with dinucleotide phosphate (DNP). These complexes inhibit apical uptake and cause cell death by apoptosis.
