Anyone know if people allergic to penicillin are allergic to this?

There is no cross sensitivity to penicillin, I updated the article. - qauz RPH — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qauz (talk • contribs) 23:11, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Use as a Chelating Agent[edit]

It's probably worth noting that penicillamine has also been used as a chelating agent in the treatment of elemental mercury embolisms. See https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMicm040265. I'd add it myself, but I'm not the greatest with formatting sources, so I'll let someone else do it this time. 2presto4u (talk) 23:21, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
