Triokris 250 mg Capsule is a prescription medication used to treat Wilson's disease by removing excess copper from the body. It is typically prescribed to patients who cannot tolerate the first-line treatment, penicillamine.
Key Information
Active Ingredient: Each capsule contains Trientine Hydrochloride USP 250 mg.
Mechanism of Action: Trientine is a copper-chelating agent. It works by binding to the excess copper that accumulates in tissues (such as the liver, brain, and eyes) due to a genetic metabolic defect and helps the body remove it through urine.
Administration:
Triokris 250 mg Capsule must be taken on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals.
It should be swallowed whole with water and should not be crushed or chewed.
Maintain at least a one-hour gap between taking Triokris and any other food, milk, or mineral supplements (like iron or zinc), as they can interfere with absorption.
Monitoring: Regular medical supervision is essential during treatment. Your doctor may monitor your temperature (especially in the first month), blood iron levels, liver function tests, and copper levels in the serum and urine.
