Sodium calcium edetate (sodium calcium EDTA), also known as edetate calcium disodium among other names, is a medication primarily used to treat lead poisoning.^[2] This includes short term and long term lead poisoning.^[3] For lead encephalopathy it is typically used together with dimercaprol.^[3] It does not appear to be useful for tetraethyllead toxicity.^[3] It is given by slow injection into a vein or into a muscle.^[2]

Common side effects include pain at the site of injection.^[3] Other side effects may include kidney problems, diarrhea, fever, muscle pains, and low blood pressure.^[2] Benefits when needed in pregnancy are likely greater than the risks.^[3] Sodium calcium edetate is in the chelating agent family of medication.^[3] It is a salt of edetate with two sodium and one calcium atoms.^[4] It works by binding a number of heavy metals which allows them to leave the body in the urine.^[3]

Sodium calcium edetate came into medical use in the United States in 1953.^[3] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.^[5] In the United States a course of treatment costs 50 to 100 USD as of 2015.^[6] Edetate disodium is a different formulation which does not have the same effects.^[3]

Medical uses

The primarily use is to treat lead poisoning.^[2] In lead toxicity it is an alternative to succimer.^[3]

It may also be used for plutonium toxicity.^[7]

History
