How to use

In Vivo:

2,3-dihydroxyhenzoic acid (2,3-DHB) is an orally effective iron-chelating agent in hypertransfused rat. The iron excreted in response tc 2,3-DHB is excreted via the urine. The oral administration of 2,3-DHB decreases time absorption of iron (59FeCl3) by the gut. The LD5O of 2,3-DHB is greater than 3 g/kg in the rabbit. Rats and mice administered up to 600 mg/kg chronically have shown no signs of toxicity.
