Active ingredients

The drug WILZIN contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1 Zinc acetate dihydrate UNII FM5526K07A - ZINC ACETATE

Zinc blocks the intestinal absorption of copper from the diet and the reabsorption of endogenously secreted copper. Zinc induces the production of metallothionein in the enterocyte, a protein that binds copper thereby preventing its transfer into the blood. The bound copper is then eliminated in the stool following desquamation of the intestinal cells. Read about Zinc
