PENICILLAMINE treats Wilson disease, a condition that causes high levels of copper in your body. It works by binding to copper so your kidneys can remove it through the urine. It may also be used to prevent kidney stones caused by too much of the amino acid cystine in the body. It works by lowering cystine levels in your urine. It can also be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis when other medications have not worked or cannot be tolerated. Compare antirheumatics.

Cuprimine Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage
Overview
Do Medicare prescription drug plans cover penicillamine?
No.
In general, Medicare prescription drug plans (Part D) do not
cover this drug. Be sure to contact your specific plan to verify
coverage information. A limited set of drugs administered in a
doctor's office or hospital outpatient setting may be covered
under Medical Insurance (Part B).
If my Medicare prescription drug plan covers penicillamine, how much will I pay?
It depends on which coverage stage you are in. Click on a tab below…
Deductible
Post-Deductible
Donut Hole
Post-Donut Hole
Copay Range
$9 – $720
In the Deductible stage, you may be responsible for the full cost of your drug.
Copay Range
$2 – $720
After your deductible has been satisfied, you will enter the Post-Deductible
(also called Initial Coverage) stage, where you pay your copay and your plan
covers the rest of the drug cost.
Copay Range
$4 – $720
In the Donut Hole (also called the Coverage Gap) stage, there is a temporary limit
to what Medicare will cover for your drug. Therefore, you may pay more for your drug.
Copay Range
$3 – $720
In the Post-Donut Hole (also called Catastrophic Coverage) stage, Medicare should
cover most of the cost of your drug.
