Artamin 250mg Capsule


Product introduction

Artamin 250mg Capsule is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, Wilson's disease, and cystinuria. It slows the progression of rheumatoid arthritis and provides relief from pain and swelling in the joints. For treatment of Wilson's disease, it helps to remove the excess copper from the body.

Artamin 250mg Capsule is used to treat joint diseases leading to severe painful swelling and redness of the joints that can lead to difficulty in movement.

Uses of Artamin Capsule

Benefits of Artamin Capsule

In Treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis

Artamin 250mg Capsule reduces pain, stiffness, and swelling in your joints and slows down the progression of bone and joint damage. This will help you do normal daily activities more easily and thus improve your quality of life. This medicine should be taken at the same time each day to get maximum benefits. Keep taking it even if you feel well because it is preventing future harm as well as improving your symptoms.

In Treatment of Wilson's disease

Wilson's disease is a disease in which excess copper builds up in the body. Artamin 250mg Capsule helps to remove this excess copper from the body and helps relieve symptoms such as swelling, fatigue, abdominal pain and uncontrolled or poorly coordinated movements. It also helps reduce pain, stiffness and swelling in your spine and joints. Additionally, it improves flexibility and prevents disease progression. This will help you lead a better and active life.

In Treatment of Cystinuria

Cystinuria is a genetic condition where the kidneys have trouble handling the amino acid cystine, leading to the formation of kidney stones. In patients with cystinuria, the kidneys have difficulty reabsorbing cystine, leading to its accumulation in the urine. Artamin 250mg Capsule helps prevent the formation of stones by forming complexes with cystine, making it more soluble and easier to be excreted in the urine. This reduces the risk of stone development and helps maintain normal kidney function.

Side effects of Artamin Capsule

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Artamin

  • Low blood platelets
  • Protein in urine
  • Rash
  • Vomiting
  • Nausea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Inflammation of the thyroid gland
  • Stomach pain/epigastric pain

How to use Artamin Capsule

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Artamin 250mg Capsule is to be taken empty stomach.

How Artamin Capsule works

Artamin 250mg Capsule works by blocking the action of certain chemical messengers that are responsible for inflammation and slows the progress of the condition with certain joint diseases. It works in Wilson's disease by helping the body to remove excess copper, and in cystinuria by preventing cystine stone formation through increased solubility.
