Per cosa si usa
Come agisce
Copper chelator that removes absorbed copper by forming a stable complex eliminated in urine; it also chelates copper in the intestinal tract, reducing copper absorption.

Stable Wilson's disease (de-coppered, penicillamine-tolerant): starting total daily dose 300 mg up to 3,000 mg orally in divided doses, two times daily; adjust by clinical assessment and copper monitoring; maximum 3,000 mg/day
Gravidanza e allattamento
- Gravidanza
- Unknown Published data and decades of use have not identified drug-associated risks for birth defects or miscarriage, but animal studies showed embryo-fetal loss and fetal abnormalities. Monitor copper throughout pregnancy and use the minimum effective dose.
- Allattamento

Chi deve prestare attenzione

- Copper deficiency may develop; monitor closely, particularly in pregnancy.
- Iron deficiency may develop, especially in menstruating or pregnant women; iron may be given in short courses at least 2 hours apart from CUVRIOR.
