Is there a human trial of dimercaprol for chronic lead, arsenic, or mercury exposure?
The corpus records a PubMed search on 14 October 2026 for trials or randomized studies of dimercaprol in lead, arsenic, or mercury that returned no records. Dimercaprol is not graded. Historical use in acute poisoning is not documented in the saved sources for this site, so it is not described here.
What this does not mean
Not graded means the search did not locate a qualifying study. It is not a statement that the drug has no effect in acute poisoning.

What's safe to buy
The Heavy Metal Tested and Certified public register listed no licensees on 15 October 2026. That page reported 0 certified brands and 0 certified products, and it stated that no brand has completed the three-lot baseline. A specimen layout on the register is an illustration, not a licensee. This page does not name or rank any brand.
The program states that certification is a measurement of a product against a published limit, not a statement that the product is safe. If a licensee is later listed for this category, it will be on the register.
