How much does it cost to buy a box of Trientine?

Trientine (Trientine) is a drug specifically used to treat Wilson's disease and has been used clinically for more than 30 years. Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder in which copper accumulates in the liver, brain, and other organs due to a disorder in the body's metabolism, causing a variety of health problems, including liver damage and neurological disorders. Although D-penicillamine is the mainstay of treatment for Wilson's disease, not all patients tolerate this drug, making trientine an important alternative. Studies have shown that trientine can effectively improve the symptoms of patients who cannot use D-penicillamine, especially in the liver and nervous system, making this drug of great value in clinical treatment.

Trientine is available by prescription and treatment should be initiated by a specialist experienced in the management of Wilson's disease. The German version of Trientine comes in 200 mg capsules, and the American version comes in 250 mg capsules. The capsules are divided into 2 to 4 doses. Dosage is adjusted based on patient response and body copper levels. This product should be taken on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals.

In the Chinese market, the original drug trientine is available in some areas of Hainan through specific channels. However, its purchase channels and prices are subject to certain restrictions. Due to the particularity of imported drugs, the domestic sales price of trientine is relatively high. For example, the common specification of the German version is 200mg*100 tablets, and each box may be sold for more than 40,000 yuan (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rate effects). At the same time, there are also Indian generic versions of the drug for sale in overseas markets. The ingredients of the drug are basically the same as those of the original drug, but the price is not yet clear.
