TOXICOLOGY: (DECREASE IN TOXIN LEVEL)

→ chelating agent. They act by binding in toxic
chelation by structure of sulfhydryl group.

combined with heavy metals will
form a relatively non- stable, non-toxic chelate
that is easily excreted in urine.

DECREASES EFFECT IF URINE IS ACIDIC or the patient is acidic.

→ More effective, soon after exposure with
gold induce thrombocytopenia, symptomatic
or asymptomatic mercury poisoning with
mercury whole blood

Dimercaprol

→ Combination with EDTA, you should give
first Dimercaprol before EDTA to prevent the
distribution of the lead to the brain.

Disadvantage - if metal itself is metabolize to liver,
dimercaprol is not effective. It is also short half life
and readily excreted to urine.
