In Treatment of Wilson's disease
Wilson's disease is a rare genetic disorder where excess copper builds up in the body, damaging organs like the liver and brain. Cilamin 250 Capsule helps by binding to the excess copper, allowing it to be safely removed from the body, which helps prevent organ damage and supports long-term health.
