Résumé
Dimercaprol forms toxic complexes with iron and is not recommended in iron poisoning. The resulting iron-dimercaprol complex can be harmful to the kidneys and is of no benefit for iron removal. Oral iron should not be given with dimercaprol during chelation therapy.
Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples
Dimercaprol and Ferrous sulfate can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.
Pourquoi elle survient
Dimercaprol forms a chelate with iron that is toxic and may worsen toxicity rather than promoting safe elimination.
