About GALZIN

What is this medication?

Galzin is a prescription medication containing zinc acetate that is primarily used for the maintenance treatment of patients with Wilson's disease. Wilson's disease is an inherited condition that prevents the body from properly eliminating copper, leading to a dangerous buildup of the metal in the liver, brain, and other organs. This medication is generally intended for patients who have already undergone initial treatment with chelating agents to remove excess copper and now require long-term management to prevent the metal from accumulating again.

The medication functions by increasing the levels of a protein called metallothionein within the cells of the intestinal tract. This protein binds to copper from both the diet and digestive secretions, preventing the copper from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Once the copper is bound to the protein in the intestinal lining, it is eventually eliminated from the body through the stool as the intestinal cells are naturally shed. By effectively blocking copper absorption, Galzin helps maintain stable copper levels and protects the body from the toxic effects of copper overload.
