Descriptions
Trientine is used to treat Wilson's disease, a disease in which there is too much copper in the body.
This medicine combines with excess copper in the body and may prevent your body from absorbing the copper in the foods you eat. Removing copper from the body prevents damage to the liver, brain, and other organs. The combination of copper and trientine is then easily removed by the kidneys and it passes from the body in urine.
Trientine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
