Benefits of Penicitin Capsule
In Treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis
Penicitin 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. Penicitin 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. Penicitin 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.
