About Jollimine Capsule

Jollimine Capsule is used to treat severe rheumatoid arthritis, Wilson's disease, and cystinuria. Rheumatoid arthritis is a joint disorder in which our immune system attacks our body cells. Wilson disease is a genetic problem characterized by excess copper deposited in body parts like the eye, brain, and liver leading to metal toxicity. Cystinuria is the excess build-up of an amino acid called cystine in the urinary bladder and kidney, leading to harmful effects.

Jollimine Capsule contains Penicillamine, which works by blocking the action of certain chemical messengers responsible for inflammation and slowing the progress of the condition with certain joint diseases. It works in Wilson's disease 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 mental, mood, and nerve problems (like confusion and difficulty speaking or walking) caused by Wilson's disease. Besides this, Jollimine Capsule is also used to treat cystinuria (kidney and bladder stone) and lead poisoning.

Take Jollimine Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Jollimine Capsule as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as protein in the urine, low blood platelets, stomach upset or throwing up, diarrhoea, change in taste, loss of appetite, mouth irritation, and mouth sores. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Jollimine Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed. To avoid recurring symptoms, do not stop it midway. Do not take Jollimine Capsule if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, as Jollimine Capsule causes serious congenital disabilities. Jollimine Capsule should not be taken by breastfeeding mothers as it passes into breast milk. Your doctor may advise you to undergo regular blood tests, as well as kidney and liver tests, to monitor your condition. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medicines to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

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).

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.

Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:

Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.

Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
