Q

DIMERCAPROL Pharmacokinetic characteristic

A
  • not stabile in water, dispensed in peanut oil, given always im. !!!
  • good permeability
  • advantage - binds intracellular located cations
  • disadvantage – promotes their infiltration from extracellular compartment into the tissues - excretion by kidney (6-8 hours)

Q

SUCCIMER (dimercaptosuccinic acid, DMSA)

DMPS (dimercaptopropan-sulfonic acid)

Pharmacokinetic characteristic

A
  • Water soluble forms of dimercaprol
  • oral administration (DMPS also parenterally) -
  • disadvantage moderate intracellular distribution
  • advantage less adverse effect - faster excretion
