DMPS (dimercaptopropanesulfonic acid)

DMPS (dimercaptopropanesulfonic acid) is a medication used to treat heavy metal poisoning, such as mercury or arsenic exposure. It works by binding to toxic metals in the body, forming stable compounds that can be safely eliminated through urine. This process helps reduce the harmful effects of metal buildup, protecting organs and tissues. DMPS is administered under medical supervision and is valued for its ability to rapidly remove certain heavy metals, improving health outcomes in affected individuals.
