Edetic acid (EDTA) is a chelating agent. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved edetic acid chelation therapy as a treatment for lead and heavy metal poisoning. Edetic acid in form of disodium salt was withdrawn from the market due to death resulting from hypocalcemia during chelation.

hypercalcemia: adults: 50 mg/kg/day (up to 3 g/day) administered by slow IV infusion. Frequency and duration of administration are quite variable, and should be determined based on the patient's serum calcium. Five consecutive daily doses may be administered, followed by 2 days without medication, repeating these courses as necessary to a total of 15 doses.
