Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
no data
Details on distribution in tissues:
no data
Details on excretion:
The amount of EDTA excreted in urine was directly proportional to the amount ingested. The peak urinary excretion was after 4 h. The authors concluded that due to the linear relationship EDTA is most likely absorbed by diffusion.
