Abstract
1 Dimercaprol (BAL), 2,3-dimercaptopropanesulpho nate sodium (DMPS) and meso-2,3-dimercaptosucci nic acid (DMSA) are effective arsenic antidotes, but the question which one is preferable for optimal therapy of arsenic poisoning is still open to discussion. Major drawbacks of BAL include (a) its low therapeutic index, (b) its tendency to redistribute arsenic to brain and testes, for example, (c) the need for (painful) intramuscular injection and (d) its unpleasant odour.Keywords
