Jollimine 250mg Capsule

Jollimine 250mg capsule contains penicillamine as its active substance. It is a chelating agent that binds to certain metals in the body, including copper and lead, to facilitate their removal. It is used to treat Wilson's disease and lead poisoning. The medicine belongs to a group called DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs) and helps relieve pain and stiffness caused by rheumatoid arthritis in adults and children. It is also used to treat Still's disease in children. Jollimine 250mg capsule treats cystinuria, a kidney problem, in adults and children. It is also indicated for chronic active hepatitis, a type of liver disease, in adults.

Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to penicillamine or any other ingredient of this medicine. Do not take this medicine if you have previously experienced a reduction in WBC after taking this medicine. Do not take this medicine if you have ever had aplastic anaemia (severe reduction in blood cells), lupus erythematosus (an allergic condition that causes skin rashes), or kidney problems.

As a chelating agent, Jollimine 250mg capsule chelates mercury, lead, copper, iron, and probably other heavy metals to form stable, soluble complexes that are readily excreted in the urine. In cystinuria, it lowers excess cystine excretion. It also inhibits the production of tropocollagen cross-links and cleaves them when newly created. The method of action in rheumatoid arthritis is uncertain; however, it appears to reduce disease activity.

Take the medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of the treatment based on the disease condition and other factors. Swallow the capsules as a whole with a glass of water. Do not break, chew, crush, or dissolve the capsules. Take the capsules on an empty stomach.

Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all drugs cause side effects, not everyone gets them. Common Rash Diarrhea Epigastric pain, loss of appetite Loss of taste Nausea, mouth ulcer Vomiting Decreased bone marrow activity Protein in urine Serious Injection site reaction Inflammation of the pancreas Renal injury Liver problems Muscle weakness

Unless it is almost time for the next dose, take it as soon as you remember, then just carry on as before. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten tablet. Do not stop or change your treatment before talking to your doctor. Do not take Jollimine 250mg capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your doctor may routinely take blood and urine tests to monitor the effectiveness of your treatment.
