What is Clovique?

Trientine is a chelating (KEE-late-ing) agent. A chelating agent works by removing a heavy metal (such as lead, mercury, or copper) from the blood.

Wilson's disease is a genetic metabolic defect that causes excess copper to build up in the body.

Trientine is used to treat this inherited condition in people who cannot take penicillamine.

Trientine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

  • a liver condition called biliary cirrhosis.
