Cilamin 250 Capsule 10

Cilamin 250 Capsule 10 is used to manage Wilson's disease and certain other conditions.

Uses of Cilamin 250 Capsule 10 are:

• Wilson's Disease: Helps remove excess copper from the body, which can affect the liver, mood and nerves if left untreated.
• Cystinuria: Helps reduce cystine levels in the urine, lowering the risk of kidney stones.
• Severe Active Rheumatoid Arthritis: Helps reduce pain, tenderness and swelling in the joints when standard treatments have not worked well.

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.
