Description
Indications
Penicillamine is prescribed to address various medical conditions. It is utilized for Wilson’s disease, cystinuria, and rheumatoid arthritis. Belonging to the class of medications called heavy metal antagonists, penicillamine operates differently based on the conditions it treats. For Wilson’s disease, it binds to excess copper in the body, facilitating its elimination through urine. In cystinuria, penicillamine binds to the substance responsible for kidney stones, preventing its buildup and the formation of stones. In rheumatoid arthritis, it works by reducing certain actions of the immune system.
Uses and Dosage
Penicillamine is available in capsule and tablet forms for oral consumption. Typically, it is taken on an empty stomach, either at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal, and also at least 1 hour before or after any food or milk. The frequency of administration varies depending on the condition being treated. For Wilson’s disease and cystinuria, it is usually taken four times a day, while for rheumatoid arthritis, it is generally taken once a day, although increased dosages may necessitate up to four times a day. The duration of treatment is determined by your doctor based on your response to the medication, your condition, and any experienced side effects.
Follow the prescribed schedule and directions on your prescription label meticulously. Take penicillamine at consistent times daily. Do not alter the dosage or frequency unless directed by your doctor. Initially, your doctor may start you on a low dose and gradually increase it.
It may take one to three months or longer before feeling the full benefits of penicillamine for Wilson’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Regardless of your well-being, continue taking penicillamine and avoid discontinuing it without consulting your doctor, even if symptoms seem to worsen. Stopping penicillamine abruptly increases the risk of an allergic reaction when restarting the medication.
Keep your doctor informed about your well-being during treatment with penicillamine. Depending on the experienced side effects, your doctor may adjust your treatment plan, prescribe additional medications, or modify your dosage.

Caution

Discuss your medical history, especially if you’ve had a severe reaction to penicillamine before (such as aplastic anemia or agranulocytosis), or if you have conditions like kidney disease or blood/bone marrow disorders.
If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, inform your doctor. Pregnancy is generally discouraged while using penicillamine due to potential harm to the unborn baby. However, in specific situations, such as treating Wilson’s disease, your doctor may decide on its use during pregnancy. If you become pregnant while using penicillamine, consult your doctor promptly to discuss the risks and benefits of the medication in your specific case.
