Balarsen Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Balarsen (INN) is an antiprotozoal agent that was first synthesized by Ernst A.H. Friedheim in 1949 via the complexing of acetarsol with 2,3-dimercaptopropanol. It has since been demonstrated that the agent possesses activity against amoebas and yaws. Considered well tolerated when compared to other related trivalent organoarsenicals, arsthinol has even undergone recent studies as a potential anticancer agent.
