Терапеутске индикације:

Deferasirox Taro is indicated for the treatment of chronic iron overload due to blood transfusions (transfusional haemosiderosis) in adult and pediatric patients (aged 2 years and over). Deferasirox Taro is also indicated for the treatment of chronic iron overload in patients with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia syndromes aged 10 years and older. Chelation therapy should only be initiated when there is evidence of iron overload (liver iron concentration [LIC]≥5 mg Fe/g dry weight [dw] or serum ferritin consistently >800 μg/l). LIC is the preferred method of iron overload determination and should be used wherever available.

WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
•
To treat chronic iron overload caused by blood
transfusions(transfusional
hemosiderosis) in adults and children (aged 2 years and older).
•
To treat chronic iron overload in patients with non-transfusion-
dependent
thalassemia aged 10 years and older.
Therapeutic group: iron chelating agent.
Repeated blood transfusions are sometimes necessary in patients
suffering from
certain types of anemia such as thalassemia, sickle-cell disease and
myelodysplastic
syndromes (MDS). However, repeated blood transfusions may cause a
build-up of
excess iron. This is because blood contains iron and the body does not
have a
natural way to remove the excess iron received with the blood
transfusions. In
patients with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia, iron overload may
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 vital org
