Description:

Chelet Injection is a medicine used to treat lead poisoning and other heavy metal toxicity. It binds to metals in the bloodstream, forming a stable compound that is safely removed from the body through urine. Removing these toxins helps reduce their harmful effects on organs and tissues.

Chelet Injection is given by a doctor or a nurse, usually through a slow intravenous infusion or intramuscular injection. The dose and duration of treatment depend on the type and severity of metal poisoning, as well as the patient’s age and kidney function. Follow all instructions and complete the full course of treatment to ensure that the toxic metals are fully cleared from the body. Your doctor may advise increasing fluid intake and prescribe regular blood and urine tests to monitor metal levels and kidney function.


Some common side effects of Chelet Injection include pain or swelling at the injection site, fever, headache, nausea, or mild fatigue. In some cases, low calcium levels may occur, leading to symptoms such as muscle cramps or tingling. These side effects are usually manageable and temporary.


Chelet Injection should not be used in patients with severe kidney disease or known allergy to any of the ingredients in the product. It should be used with caution in people with heart conditions, liver problems, or low calcium levels. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medicine only if clearly prescribed by a doctor.
