Aaramine 250 Capsule

Introduction

Aaramine is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Penicillamine. It is also known by its generic name, Penicillamine.

Uses

Aaramine is primarily used to treat certain conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and Wilson’s disease. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain and stiffness. Wilson’s disease is a genetic disorder that causes copper to accumulate in the body, leading to liver and neurological problems. Aaramine helps to reduce inflammation and remove excess copper from the body.

Dosage and Administration

follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the dosage and administration of Aaramine. The dosage may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and individual patient factors. Generally, the starting dose is lower and gradually increased over time to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. Aaramine is usually taken orally with water, and it is recommended to take it on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals.

Mechanism of Action

Aaramine works by binding to excess copper in the body and promoting its elimination through urine. This helps to reduce the copper levels and prevent its accumulation, which is beneficial in the treatment of Wilson’s disease. Additionally, Aaramine has anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach upset, and skin rashes. Consult your healthcare provider if these side effects persist or worsen. In rare cases, Aaramine may cause serious side effects such as blood disorders, kidney problems, or allergic reactions. If you experience any severe or unusual symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Aaramine may interact with certain medications, supplements, or foods. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. Aaramine may interact with drugs like gold compounds, anticoagulants, or vaccines. These interactions can affect the efficacy or safety of the medication, so discuss potential drug interactions with your healthcare provider.

Before starting Aaramine, inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you have, especially kidney disease, blood disorders, or allergies. Aaramine is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Penicillamine or any of its ingredients. Avoid taking Aaramine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as it may harm the unborn baby or pass into breast milk.
