About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Jollimine Capsule contains Penicillamine 250 mg, a chelating agent primarily indicated for the treatment of Wilson’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and cystinuria. Penicillamine acts by binding to excess copper and other heavy metals, facilitating their excretion through the urine, thereby reducing toxic accumulation in tissues. In Wilson’s disease, Jollimine helps prevent hepatic and neurological damage by promoting copper elimination. For rheumatoid arthritis, it exhibits immunomodulatory effects, reducing inflammation and slowing disease progression in patients unresponsive to conventional therapies. In cystinuria, Penicillamine decreases cystine stone formation by increasing cystine solubility in urine. The capsule should be administered orally, with dosage individualized based on the condition and patient response. Common adverse effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, rash, leukopenia, and proteinuria; therefore, regular monitoring of blood counts, renal, and liver function is recommended during therapy. Jollimine is contraindicated in patients with penicillamine hypersensitivity and should be used cautiously in pregnancy and lactation. Concomitant use with other immunosuppressants or nephrotoxic drugs requires careful supervision. Proper adherence to prescribed dosage and monitoring schedules is essential to maximize therapeutic benefits and minimize potential risks associated with Penicillamine therapy.

About Penicillamine
Penicillamine is primarily used to treat severe rheumatoid arthritis, Wilson's disease, and cystinuria. It functions as a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) in rheumatoid arthritis, reducing inflammation and joint damage. In Wilson's disease, it chelates excess copper, facilitating its excretion. Its clinical relevance lies in managing autoimmune disorders and metal toxicity. In summary, Penicillamine is crucial for treating specific conditions involving copper accumulation and autoimmune processes.
How It Works
Penicillamine chelates heavy metals, facilitating their renal excretion, and modulates the immune response by inhibiting T-cell activation.
