WHAT
IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT IS
contains an active substance called deferasirox. It is
an iron chelator which is a
medicine used to remove the excess iron from the body (also called
iron overload). It traps and
removes excess iron which is then excreted mainly in the stools.
WHAT IS USED FOR
Repeated blood transfusions may be necessary in patients with various
types of anaemia (for example
thalassaemia, sickle cell disease or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)).
However, repeated blood
transfusions can cause a build-up of excess iron. This is because
blood contains iron and your body
does not have a natural way to remove the excess iron you get with
your blood transfusions. In
patients with non-transfusion-dependent thalassaemia syndromes, iron
overload may also develop over
time, mainly due to increased absorption of dietary iron in response
to low blood cell counts. Over
time, the excess iron can damage important organs such as the liver
and hea
