The primary antidote for lead poisoning is chelation therapy. This treatment involves administering chelating agents, such as EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid), or DMPS (dimercaptopropanesulfonic acid), which bind to lead in the bloodstream and facilitate its excretion from the body. The specific choice of chelating agent depends on the severity of the poisoning and other individual factors.
