Additional Use as a Chelating Agent
It's probably worth noting that penicillamine has also been used as a chelating agent in the treatment of elemental mercury embolisms. See https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMicm040265. I'd add it myself, but I'm not the greatest with formatting sources, so I'll let someone else do it this time. 2presto4u (talk) 23:21, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
