Cuprimine (Brimondine Tartrate) is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, Wilson’s disease (a condition in which high levels of copper in the body cause damage to the liver, brain, and other organs), and a certain disorder which causes kidney stones (cystinuria). Cuprimine is known as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug. For the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, it helps to decrease pain/tenderness/swelling in the joints. For the treatment of Wilson’s disease, Cuprimine binds to copper and helps it to be removed from the body. Decreasing the copper levels helps to improve liver function and the mental/mood/nerve problems (such as confusion, difficulty speaking/walking) caused by the disease. For the treatment of cystinuria, penicillamine helps to decrease the amount of a certain substance (cystine) in the urine which can cause kidney stones. Do not take this medication if you are allergic. Talk to your medical professional if you have history of a previous severe reaction to penicillamine (such as aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis), kidney disease, blood/bone marrow disorders (such as thrombocytopenia). Take this medication as directed by your doctor. Consult your doctor for any possible side effects and precautions. If you experience any serious side effects, contact your doctor promptly.
