Cilamin 250 Capsule 10

Cilamin-250 Capsule is used for managing Wilson's disease, a condition that causes excess copper to build up in the body, affecting liver function and causing mental, mood and nerve problems. It is also used for reducing cystinuria, a genetic disorder that leads to high levels of cystine in the urine, causing kidney stones. Furthermore, it is used for controlling severe active rheumatoid arthritis to help decrease pain, tenderness and swelling in affected joints 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.
