Cuprimine (Penicillamine) is a medication with diverse applications. It is used to treat several conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, Wilson's disease, and cystinuria. In the context of rheumatoid arthritis, penicillamine acts as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD), effectively reducing pain, tenderness, and swelling in the joints.
For Wilson's disease, penicillamine binds to copper, aiding in its removal from the body, thereby improving liver function and addressing the mental, mood, and nerve problems associated with the disease.
In the case of cystinuria, penicillamine works to decrease the amount of a certain substance (cystine) in the urine, which can lead to the formation of kidney stones. It's important to note that Cuprimine is not recommended for use in pregnant individuals with cystinuria or rheumatoid arthritis.
Additionally, close medical supervision is essential while using Cuprimine, as it can cause kidney damage and is associated with serious side effects. Routine urine analysis and annual kidney stone checks are necessary for individuals using Cuprimine for cystinuria or Wilson's disease.
