Antidote lead

An antidote for lead poisoning is a medication that is administered to treat lead toxicity. It is used to reduce the amount of lead in the body and to prevent further damage from the lead. The most commonly used antidote is dimercaprol, which is an organic compound that binds to lead ions and helps them be removed from the body. Other treatments may include chelating agents such as edetate calcium disodium or succimer, which can also bind to lead ions and help them be eliminated. In some cases, supportive care such as fluids and electrolyte replacement may be necessary. Treatment is based on the severity of the poisoning, and the goal of the treatment is to reduce the amount of lead in the body and to prevent further damage.
