Overview

DMSA (Dimercaptosuccinic acid), also known as Succimer, is a chelating agent used primarily to treat heavy metal poisoning, including lead, mercury, and arsenic. It is recognized for its ability to bind with heavy metals, facilitating their excretion from the body.

Uses

DMSA is used in medical treatments for heavy metal poisoning. It binds to metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, allowing them to be excreted through urine. Additionally, DMSA is used in diagnostic testing when radiolabeled with technetium-99m.

Regulatory

DMSA is listed on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, highlighting its importance in medical treatments. In the United States, it is available by prescription only.

Monitoring

Monitoring the levels of heavy metals in biological and environmental samples is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance with regulatory limits. DMSA reference materials are essential for accurate and reliable residue analysis.

Health Impact

Human toxicity

Common side effects of DMSA include vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and low blood neutrophil levels. It may also cause liver problems and allergic reactions. The safety of DMSA use during pregnancy is not well established.

Environmental Impact

Effects on wildlife

DMSA's environmental impact is primarily associated with its use in treating heavy metal contamination. By facilitating the excretion of heavy metals, it helps reduce environmental pollution and protects wildlife from toxic exposure.

Safety Measure

Proper handling and usage of DMSA are essential to ensure safety. It should be administered under medical supervision, and appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent exposure to heavy metals.

Regulation

DMSA is regulated by various health authorities, including the FDA in the United States. It is approved for treating heavy metal poisoning and must be used according to prescribed guidelines.
