Cilamin 250 Capsule 10

Cilamin-250 Capsule is used for the following:

• Managing Wilson's disease: This condition causes excess copper to build up in your body, affecting liver function and causing mental, mood and nerve problems.

• Reducing cystinuria: This genetic disorder leads to high levels of cystine in your urine, causing kidney stones.

• Controlling severe active rheumatoid arthritis: This medicine helps decrease pain, tenderness and swelling in joints affected by this condition when standard therapies fail.

Follow these steps while taking Cilamin-250 Capsule:

• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water.

• Consume the medicine on an empty stomach, either one hour before or two hours after meals.

• Administer this medication at least one hour apart from other medicines, especially antacids, milk or food.

• Try to take it regularly at the same time every day.

• For specific administration instructions suited to your condition, always consult your doctor.

Cilamin-250 Capsule is taken orally.

The active ingredient contained in Cilamin-250 Capsule is Penicillamine (250 mg). Here's how it works:

• Removes Excess Copper: In cases of Wilson's disease, penicillamine aids in removing excess copper from the body by forming a soluble complex with it. This complex is then excreted through urine.

• Reduces Cystine Excretion: For those with cystinuria, penicillamine reduces the amount of cystine excreted in urine by creating a soluble mixed disulfide complex.

• Interferes with Collagen Formation: The exact mechanism through which penicillamine helps manage rheumatoid arthritis isn't completely understood yet. However, it seems to suppress disease activity by interfering with cross-links between tropocollagen molecules and cleaving newly formed collagen in affected joints.

• Store Cilamin-250 Capsule at room temperature, specifically below 25°C.

• Keep it away from direct light and moisture.

• Ensure the container is sealed tightly to avoid air exposure.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Remember to use it before the expiry date printed on the package.

• If you're taking Cilamin-250 Capsule for Wilson's disease, consider a low-copper diet. Eating less liver, shellfish, mushrooms, nuts, and chocolate can help manage copper levels in your body.

• For rheumatoid arthritis patients, maintaining an active lifestyle can help. Regular exercises like walking or swimming can reduce joint pain and stiffness.
