Chelation therapy has been in vogue for a long time now. The ability of this therapy to ameliorate a number of pathological conditions has vouched for its popularity among the masses. So much so, that more and more doctors worldwide are prescribing this therapy to their patients, as an answer to most of their problems. Chelation can be effected by a number of ways. Either by the parenteral administration of the drug or by taking the drug orally in order to proceed with the treatment. Although the intravenous or intra muscular administration of the chelating agents are much more useful than oral administration of the chelating drugs, doctors worldwide have prescribed the oral drugs on a large scale due to a number of reasons. In fact, oral products have proven to be much more useful when it comes to dealing with a number of diseases.Not only do the oral products work with equal ease as their parenteral counterparts in providing relief from a number of cardiac arrhythmias, they have found to be equally effective in the treatment of diabetes, stress related blood disorders etc.One of the major applications of the oral chelating products as been n the area of poisoning, as most of the poisoning cases occur due to the ingestion of heavy metals or poisonous elements through the oral route, such products help in providing relief from them. After ingestion, these products move into the alimentary tract ad solubilize to provide a suspension of the chelating agent. This agent then works by an irreversible complexation process, whereby, a complex of the poison or heavy metal and the chelating product is formed.As the orally taken drugs and other matter have to undergo first pass metabolism, i.e., have to pass through the liver, oral chelating agents are also effective in providing relief from liver poisoning and promote the cleansing of the biliary tracts.Also, oral chelating products have found significant application in the improvement of the sex life in men. Scientists have found that these products can promote the amelioration of ‘impotence’. Further, chelating agents are also employed for a number of non medical purposes too. In that, they have been increasingly employed for the control of pollution. Chelating agents have been used for complexing of the various types of harmful gases released into the atmosphere on a daily basis by different industries.
