What is Chemet?

Chemet (succimer) is a brand-name prescription drug that helps remove lead from the body in children who have lead poisoning, a condition that is caused by lead building up in the body as a result of environmental exposure to lead.

Even a small accumulation of lead in the body causes problems, particularly in the brain. Lead poisoning in children causes developmental delays, learning problems, behavior problems, mood changes, slow growth, seizures, and physical symptoms. The effects of lead poisoning can sometimes be irreversible.

The active ingredient in Chemet, succimer, attaches to lead in the body and is excreted along with the lead in the urine.

Chemet is taken as a capsule every eight hours for five days and then every twelve hours for another fourteen days. The dose prescribed will be based on the patient's weight.

Treatment with Chemet will always require identifying and eliminating the source of lead poisoning.
