A member asked:
Is chlorothiazide used for lead or metal poisoning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chlorothiazide has diuretic effect, and is not a chelating agent and not likely to be used primarily for lead or metal poisoning unless to promote urinary excretion when combined with a chelating agent. It could cause magnesium and potasium depletion with long term use without adequate replacement.
