| Uses | This drug is used by persons who have too much iron in their bodies due to recurrent blood transfusions (such as required for those with blood disorders like Thalassemia and Sickle cell anaemia). Blood transfusions aid in the treatment of blood diseases, but they also introduce excess iron into the body. It is critical to eliminate excess iron since high amounts of iron can create health concerns (such as heart failure, liver disease, diabetes, and delayed growth in children). Deferiprone is prescribed if you have difficulty taking other traditional iron-removal medications or if your iron levels remain high even after taking other iron-removal medications. |
