Buy Cuprimine (Penicillamine) from Maple Leaf Medications.

Cuprimine uses

This medicationis used to treat Wilson’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis. It can also be used to treat lead poisoning in some cases. Cuprimine generic is available with the same active ingredients under the name Penicillamine.

What is Wilson’s Disease?

Wilson’s disease is a rare disorder that affects various body tissues, including the brain, liver, and eyes. Copper is an important part of the body’s ability to build tissues, but too much of it can cause copper toxicity. People with Wilson’s disease have a rare genetic trait that prevents their bodies from getting rid of copper, which results in a build-up in the bloodstream. The copper in the blood is then deposited to various locations, which can then cause damage in vital areas.

Wilson’s disease is a progressive condition that can cause liver damage, kidney stones, and neurological damage. The symptoms of Wilson’s disease include fatigue, loss of appetite, jaundice, edema, tremors, personality changes, depression, nausea, and slurred speech.

How does this medication work?

This medication uses the active ingredient, penicillamine, which belongs to a class of drugs known as heavy-metal antagonists. Penicillamine works by binding to and altering copper ions so that they can be dissolved in water. This allows excess copper that would otherwise be trapped in the bloodstream to be passed through the urine.

What to Watch Out For:

• Do not use Cuprimine if you are breastfeeding.
• Do not take Cuprimine if you have a hypersensitivity to penicillamine or any similar medication. Allergic reactions consisting of face swelling, rashes, and/or difficulty breathing require immediate medical assistance.
• If you are already using penicillamine to treat rheumatoid arthritis, do not use it for Wilson’s disease as well. Seek for medical advice for the best course of action.
