Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Does 25 mg every 4 hours seem like a reasonable dosage of DMSA for a 7-year old boy who weighs 35 pounds? I am sure there is somewhere I could find this information, but I just need someone to tell me for sure that I am not doing anything wrong!

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I believe the dosage is 1/4 to 1/2 mg per pound, every 4 hours. So, according to that calculation you would want to start with 8.75 - 12.5 mg every 4 hours. Starting lower going higher is always safer. I think Andy recommends 1 mg per pound max. If you look in the files section of this site you should be able to find more details.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Read more here: http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/Andy_dose_sched.html How long to wait after amalgam replacement before chelating: a.. for DMSA: at least 4 days b.. for ALA: at least 3 months. ALA has specific risks because it crosses the blood-brain-barrier. It is riskier if used soon after mercury exposure (such as soon after amalgam replacement). This should be considered in deciding when to use ALA.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Jamakeah, Welcome to the list. Congratulations on getting your amalgams out. DMSA removes mercury and lead. ALA chelates mercury and arsenic.
