  • Patent number: 10874624
    Abstract: Provided are pharmaceutical dosage forms comprising (i) trientine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of trientine, in a (ii) sealed packaging. The sealed packaging provides a high barrier protection against air, moisture and light and prevents exposure of the drug to conditions that facilitate its decomposition. The pharmaceutical dosage forms are useful for treating diseases or conditions where excess copper is not removed from the body, e.g., Wilson's disease.
