Prussian blue is an inorganic compound used as a medication and pigment. As a medication, it is used to treat thallium poisoning and radioactive cesium poisoning. It works by binding to thallium and cesium in the digestive tract, preventing their absorption into the body. As a pigment, it has a deep blue color and is used in paints, inks, and dyes.
Used to treat thallium and radioactive cesium poisoning.
