Copper therapy

Copper therapy is aimed at removing excess accumulated copper and preventing its reaccumulation. Copper overload results in Wilson disease. Chelation therapy drugs approved for treating Wilson disease include penicillamine (Cuprimine® and Depen®) and trientine (Syprine® and Trientine Dihydrochloride) both of these drugs act by chelation or binding of copper, causing its increased urinary excretion.
