Description
Cilamin 250 treats rheumatoid arthritis, Wilson’s disease and cystinuria. It acts as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) for treating rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that damages the joints of the body). It works by decreasing the pain and swelling in the joints. Thus, it works as an immunosuppressive agent for curing rheumatoid arthritis.
Cilamin works by dropping the numbers of T-lymphocytes, inhibiting macrophage function, decreasing IL-1, decreasing rheumatoid factor, and preventing collagen from cross-linking. It acts as a chelating agent for curing Wilson’s disease, thus removing heavy metals such as copper from the body thus preventing the liver from being damaged. It also prevents cystinuria autosomal disease by binding with cysteine to yield a mixed disulfide more soluble than cystine, thus preventing kidney stones in our body.
