Penicillamine is used to treat Wilson's disease, a hereditary condition caused by copper accumulation in the body. It works by binding to copper and facilitating its elimination, thus reducing the damage caused by the buildup of this mineral and helping to maintain the health of the liver and nervous system.
It is also used to treat hereditary cystinuria, a condition resulting from high levels of the amino acid cysteine in the urine. This helps reduce the formation of kidney and bladder stones.
Additionally it is used in severe cases of rheumatoid arthritis after other medications have failed, as penicillamine in uae helps reduce inflammation and improve mobility and quality of life for the patient.
