Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Medicinal Benefits

Jollimine Capsule contains Penicillamine, which is primarily used to treat Wilson's disease (copper builds up in the body and may result in serious symptoms), and cystinuria (kidney stones). It is also used in combination with other treatments to treat severe rheumatoid arthritis. The treatment of rheumatoid arthritis Jollimine Capsule reduces pain, inflammation, and slow joint damage and disease progression over time; hence Jollimine Capsule is known as a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD). In Wilson's disease, Jollimine Capsule works by binding to the extra copper in the body and causing it to leave the body through the urine. Decreasing copper levels improves liver function and the mental, mood, and nerve problems (such as confusion, and difficulty speaking/walking) caused by Wilson's disease. In cystinuria, it helps decrease the amount of a certain substance (cystine) by binding to that substance which can cause kidney stones and prevent it from building up and forming stones. Besides this, Jollimine Capsule is also used to treat lead poisoning.
