This is also characterized by Kaiser-Fleischer ring, low serum ceruloplasmin levels and elevated urinary copper excretion.1 Aims: To observe the pharmacological along with non-pharmacological therapy for better clinical care as directed by pharmacist counselling. Case details: A 26year male patient came to the neurology department with chief complaints of involuntary tremors of both hands and difficulty in walking in the last one month associated with swaying to one side in the last 20 days. Discussion: On examination the patient is having Kaiser-Fleisher ring positive and upon further investigation Magnetic resonance imaging brain was performed which revealed the features in favor of Wilson’s disease. And for this condition the patient is treated with chelating agents and benzodiazepines. Conclusion: There is no cure for this disease and the patient should require lifelong medication with good adherence. We can minimize the symptoms by eliminating the excess copper from the body. Patient should also follow the pharmacological along with non-pharmacological therapy for better clinical care as directed by pharmacist counselling.
