- Dimercaprol is potentially **nephrotoxic**; use cautiously in patients with impaired renal function. To protect the kidneys, the urine should be alkalinized to prevent the chelated drug from dissociating in the urine. Animals with diminished renal function or who develop renal dysfunction while on therapy should have the dosage adjusted or therapy discontinued. IM injections must be administered deeply to minimize pain. May decrease Iodine I 131 thyroidal uptake values.
