About this active substance
Trientine is a chelating agent used in the treatment of Wilson's disease, a rare genetic disorder characterized by excessive copper accumulation in the body, particularly in the liver, brain, and other organs. Trientine works by binding copper and facilitating its excretion through urine, thereby reducing the toxicity associated with copper buildup.
Trientine is administered orally, usually in capsule form, as directed by a physician. It is used as an alternative to penicillamine, especially in patients who cannot tolerate that medication.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and skin rashes. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions or iron deficiencies may occur, as trientine can also bind other essential metals.
Trientine is an essential medication for managing Wilson's disease, helping to prevent severe complications and improve patients' quality of life.
