DMSA (Succimer)
DMSA (Succimer) is a water-soluble chelating agent available as a compounded oral capsule, liquid, or slow-release tablet.
It binds to heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic in the bloodstream, forming stable complexes that are excreted through the kidneys, supporting safe detoxification and reducing toxic burden.
Medication Information
DMSA is the preferred treatment for acute or chronic heavy metal poisoning, including:
- Lead
- Mercury
- Arsenic
- Cadmium toxicity
- Wilson’s disease
It is gentler on the body compared to other chelators, with fewer side effects.
Active Ingredients:
Dimercaptosuccinic Acid (DMSA/Succimer) (USP) in an oral capsule, suspension, or slow-release tablet base
