Usual Adult Dose for Lead Poisoning

Usual Adult Dose for Lead Poisoning - Mild

For asymptomatic adult patients whose blood lead level is < 70 mcg/dL but > 20 mcg/dL (World Health Organization recommended upper allowable level):

1000 mg/m2/day given intravenously or intramuscularly

Therapy of lead poisoning in adult patients with edetate calcium disodium is continued over a period of five days. Therapy is then interrupted for 2 to 4 days to allow redistribution of the lead and to prevent severe depletion of zinc and other essential metals. Two courses of treatment are usually employed; however, it depends on severity of the lead toxicity and the patient's tolerance of the drug.
