The body does not have a good way of getting rid of copper from the body naturally, so there have been some medications developed to help chelate (remove) it, but they are prescription drugs, so if you feel you need to lower your body's copper, you need to see your doctor. Some of the main drugs used to reduce copper in the body are pencillamine, and trientene, though if you are very high, your doctor may feel you need to undergo dialysis to remove the excess copper from your bloodstream quickly.
