It is on the World Health Organization Model List of Essential Medicines. Edetate calcium disodium was granted FDA approval on 16 July 1953.

Edetate calcium disodium is a polyvalent ion chelator used to remove lead from the body after lead poisoning. It has a wide therapeutic index, as overdoses must be well in excess of the therapeutic dose to show symptoms. It has a long duration of action, as doses are given at least a day apart. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of increased intracranial pressure with intravenous infusions.
Edetate calcium disodium distributes into tissues, such as the kidney and bone, where it chelates lead ions. The lead ions are then eliminated in the normal urinary excretion of edetate. Lead in certain tissues such as the liver and bone, redistribute to other tissues after edetate calcium disodium treatment, but lead levels do not decrease to levels seen in unexposed patients.
Calcium edetate disodium's Cmax and AUC are dependant on renal function. 5% of an oral dose is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Edetate calcium disodium is 95% eliminated in the urine within 24 hours. An oral dose in rats was 88.32% recovered in the feces and 10.30% recovered in the urine.
The volume of distribution of edetate calcium disodium is 0.19±0.10L/kg.
The mean clearance of edetate in 1 month olds is 54.6mL/min/1.73m<sup>2</sup>. 2-17 year olds have a mean clearance of 113.9±24.4mL/min/1.73m<sup>2</sup>.
UsesChelating agent (metal).
UsesUsed to eliminate enzyme inhibition by traces of heavy metals, and to inhibit enzymes that require divalent cations as cofactors. As this form is already chelated with Ca2+, it is selective for divalent cations with greater affinity for EDTA, which it will exchange for Ca2+.

UsesEDTA calcium disodium is a sequestrant and chelating agent whose complete name is disodium calcium ethylenediamine tetraacetate. It is a nonhygroscopic powder that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless at recommended use levels. A 1% solution has a ph of 6.5–7.5. It is used to control the reaction of trace metals with some organic and inorganic components in food; to prevent deterioration of color, texture, and development of precipitates; and to prevent oxidation. Its function is comparable to that of disodium dihydrogen edta. It is also termed calcium disodium edta.
DefinitionChEBI: EDTA monocalcium diisodium salt is an organic calcium salt of EDTA diisodium. It is a chelating agent that is used for the treatment of lead poisoning. It has a role as a geroprotector, a chelator and an antidote. It contains an EDTA disodium salt (anhydrous).
