What is Galzin?

Galzin is a brand-name prescription drug with zinc acetate, a common food supplement. Galzin is prescribed to patients with Wilson's disease as a secondary therapy, either during or after they have been treated for high amounts of copper in their body.

Wilson's disease is a hereditary condition in which the body does not eliminate copper, an element that can be toxic or fatal in high amounts. Instead, copper builds up in the liver, brain, and other vital organs. High amounts of copper in the body are treated primarily by chelating agents, or drugs that attach to the metal and are then eliminated with the metal from the body.

Zinc acetate blocks the intestines from absorbing copper from digested food by stimulating the production of a protein that binds to the copper and prevents it from passing into the body.

Galzin is a capsule and taken three times daily.
