Product Introduction
Deferasirox 400mg is an oral iron chelator used to reduce chronic iron overload caused by repeated transfusions or selected non-transfusion-dependent thalassaemia. This dispersible formulation is prepared in liquid before swallowing.
How to use
Take once daily on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before food. Stir the dispersible tablets into water, orange juice or apple juice until evenly dispersed. Drink the suspension, then rinse the glass with a little more liquid and drink the rinse.
How it works
Deferasirox binds excess iron in a stable complex that is removed mainly in the stools, gradually reducing stored iron.
Side effects
Nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and rash can occur. Kidney injury, liver injury and gastrointestinal bleeding are important serious risks.
Important information
Iron stores, kidney function, liver tests and blood counts guide treatment. Hearing and eye examinations may be arranged. Avoid aluminium-containing antacids.
Uses
- Chronic transfusional iron overload and selected thalassaemia-associated iron overload.
Benefits
Can lower excess tissue iron and reduce the risk of iron-related organ injury over time.
Can these tablets be swallowed whole?
No. This dispersible presentation is intended to form a drinkable suspension before it is taken.
Can I use the same milligram dose when changing to film-coated tablets?
No. The formulations have different bioavailability, so a formulation change requires a recalculated dose.
Does a lower ferritin always mean the dose should continue unchanged?
No. Trends in ferritin and other iron measurements are used to avoid removing too much iron.
What should happen if vomiting or diarrhoea causes dehydration?
Contact the treating team promptly. Dehydration increases kidney risk and may require a temporary treatment interruption.
