Succimer is administered orally 3 times a day for 7 days then twice daily for 19 days Patients may receive up to 3 courses

Standard treatment consists of a medical history and physical examination environmental assessment with modification to reduce lead exposure dietary modifications to decrease lead absorption the use of a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement with iron developmental screening and intervention and frequent follow up of lead levels

If blood lead level rises above 45 mcgdL patient receives succimer regardless of treatment arm originally assigned
