Pharmacy

To manage the side effects of penicillamine, you should follow the directions carefully. Take only the amount you need, not more or less. Do not take it for longer than you should, and do not stop taking it without talking to your doctor. If you stop and start again, your side effects can get worse. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about any directions you do not understand or questions you have.
