Trientine Price Forecast to 2026

Trientine (Trientine), as a drug for the treatment of Wilson's disease, has been launched in China. However, due to its short time on the market, the price and medical insurance information are not yet fully clear. Wilson's disease (rare disease) is a copper metabolism disorder caused by genetic mutations, causing copper to accumulate in the liver, brain and other organs. Left untreated for a long time, patients may develop liver failure or neurological disorders. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to delay disease progression. The benefit of trientine is its effectiveness and low side effects, allowing patients to continue to receive effective treatment in cases of penicillamine intolerance.

After trientine is launched in China, the price has not yet been determined due to market demand and production costs, but it is expected that the price may be relatively high. Taking overseas markets as an example, the price of the German version of the original drug200 mg × 100 tablets may exceed 40,000 yuan. Due to the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, the price may fluctuate, but it is foreseeable that the price of trientine in the domestic market may be similar to its original drug, especially considering the import cost and market positioning.

Despite its higher price, giventhe severity of Wilson's disease and the need for long-term treatment, trientine remains an important treatment option, especially for patients who are penicillamine intolerant. As drugs become more widely used, it is expected that their prices may gradually stabilize and provide more patients with economically viable treatment options once covered by medical insurance.

Compared with penicillamine, trientine has fewer side effects, especially the lower incidence of allergic reactions and gastrointestinal discomfort. For those patients who cannot tolerate penicillamine, trientine provides an effective alternative treatment option. By effectively controlling copper accumulation, trientine can slow the progression of Wilson's disease and improve patients' quality of life, especially in terms of neurological symptoms and liver function.
