Dimercaptopropane is a drug commonly used to treat heavy metal poisoning, such as mercury, lead, or arsenic poisoning. It is a chelating agent that binds heavy metal ions to help the body eliminate these harmful substances. In Hong Kong, dimercaptopane may be used to treat acute or chronic poisoning, but only under medical supervision. Patients should use medications strictly as directed by their doctor and avoid adjusting the dosage or frequency on their own. During use, some side effects may occur, such as nausea, vomiting or headache, etc. You should inform your doctor in time. In addition, certain groups of people, such as pregnant or lactating women, may not be suitable for use of this drug and should be treated under professional medical guidance. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should consult your doctor immediately.
Usage: Please use this drug under the guidance of a physician. It is generally recommended to take it on an empty stomach and swallow it with water each time. Avoid taking it with foods containing calcium, zinc or magnesium, which may affect the efficacy of the medicine. You should avoid activities that require alertness while taking it.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is 2 mg/kg body weight per day, taken in 2 to 3 divided doses. As the disease progresses, the physician may adjust the dose, but it should not exceed 10 mg/kg body weight per day. The dosage for children needs to be determined based on age and weight. The recommended starting dose is 1 mg/kg body weight per day, taken in 2 to 3 divided doses. The physician will adjust the dose based on the child's specific condition.
