Dimercaptopropane Sulfonate (DMPS), also known as Dimercaptopropane-1-sulfonic acid or Dimaval, is a chelating agent — a compound that binds (“chelates”) toxic heavy metal ions in the bloodstream to form stable complexes that are then eliminated via the kidneys.
Chemically, it’s a water-soluble sulfur-containing molecule used to treat acute heavy metal toxicity such as arsenic, mercury, and lead poisoning.
It is administered only under medical supervision, typically via slow IV infusion or push.
Benefits (IV Use ONLY) | Medical Uses
DMPS IV therapy has these medically recognized roles:
Treatment of acute heavy metal poisoning:
• Mercury poisoning (elevated body burden)
• Arsenic poisoning
• Lead poisoning (in select cases)
These conditions require clinical confirmation (labs and symptoms) and toxicologist oversight.
DMPS binds toxic metal ions, forming complexes that are excreted in urine, lowering body burden of metals.
