Medical uses It is used as a chelating agent: In Wilson's disease, a rare genetic disorder of copper metabolism, penicillamine treatment relies on its binding to accumulated copper and elimination through urine. Penicillamine was the second line treatment for arsenic poisoning, after dimercaprol (BAL). It is no longer recommended. Adverse effects  Bone marrow suppression, dysgeusia, anorexia, vomiting  and diarrhea are the most common side effects, occurring in ~20–30\% of the patients treated with penicillamine.
