This review examines the use of metal chelators, including DMSA, DMPS, and CaEDTA, in treating lead, mercury, and arsenic poisoning, with a focus on their efficacy, safety, and potential combination therapies. The study highlights that DMSA is a safer alternative to CaEDTA for moderate lead poisoning and suggests that DMSA
This review examines the effectiveness and safety of four chelating agents—DMSA, DMPS, CaNa₂EDTA, and BAL—for treating heavy metal poisoning, particularly lead, mercury, and arsenic intoxication. The study highlights that DMSA and DMPS are safer and more effective alternatives to traditional chelators like CaNa₂EDTA and BAL, with DMSA primarily used for
This review article discusses arsenic’s toxic effects, particularly how arsenic exposure induces oxidative stress and how chelation therapies, such as BAL, DMPS, and DMSA, are used to treat arsenic poisoning. It highlights that antioxidants can enhance the efficacy of chelation therapy by reducing oxidative damage and improving detoxification outcomes. The
