Antimony has few biological or medical applications. Drugs whose main component is antimony are called antimony-containing agents and are an emetic. Antimony compounds are also used as antigenics. Since 1919, potassium antimony tartrate (commonly known as tartar emesis) has been used as a treatment for schistosomiasis. It was gradually replaced by praziquantel. Antimony and its compounds are used in a variety of veterinary agents, such as antimony lithium thiomalate as a skin conditioner for ruminants. Antimony has a nourishing and regulatory effect on keratinized tissues, at least in animals. Antimony-containing drugs are also used as one of the options for the treatment of leishmaniasis in livestock, such as meglumine antimonate. Unfortunately, it not only has a low therapeutic index, but it is difficult to enter the bone marrow where some Leishmania amastigote is located, and it cannot cure diseases that affect the internal organs. Antimony pills made of metallic antimony were used as medicine. But it can be toxic when ingested from the air by other people.
