Penicillamine is a medication primarily used to treat Wilson's disease, a genetic disorder that leads to excessive copper accumulation in the body, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition causing joint inflammation. It works by binding to metals like copper, facilitating their excretion from the body, and by modulating immune system activity. Additionally, it is sometimes used in the treatment of cystinuria, a condition characterized by high levels of cystine in the urine leading to kidney stones.
