Heavy Metal Chelator

Chemet is a chelating agent that is commonly used to treat patients with severe lead poisoning. It works by attaching itself to the lead in the blood and it passes out with urine.

  • Metallic taste in your mouth.
  • Dizziness, sleepiness.
  • Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite.
  • Seizures, trouble breathing, clumsiness.
  • Fever, chills, cough, sore throat, and body aches.
  • Skin rash or blisters.
  • Your doctor will do lab tests at regular visits to check on the effects of this medicine. Keep all appointments. Your doctor will also need to check your blood after you stop using the medicine, to make sure the metal is gone from your body.
  • For people who have diabetes: This medicine may affect the results of some urine tests for ketones (such as Ketostix®). Ask your doctor what kind of ketone test you should use while you are using succimer.
  • This medicine may make you dizzy or drowsy. Avoid driving, using machines, or doing anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert.
  • Tell any doctor or dentist who treats you that you are using this medicine. This medicine may affect certain medical test results.
  • Tell your doctor if you have ever used succimer before, especially if you had any side effects to it.
  • You must also get rid of the lead or other heavy metal that made you sick. Find out how you have been exposed to a heavy metal. This medicine will not protect you from a heavy metal that you are still being exposed to. Ask your health caregiver about the best ways to get rid of or avoid the heavy metal that caused the problem.
  • Make sure your doctor knows if you are breastfeeding. You probably should not breastfeed while you are being treated with this medicine, because the metal in your body and the medicine will both be in your breast milk.
  • Make sure your doctor knows if you are pregnant, or if you have kidney disease, liver disease, or blood problems.
