Hi - Don't know about Canada - but my transplant doctor said that Novartis had a pretty good program for getting patients Jadenu for free or at a discount if insurance was a problem - he felt strongly that Jadenu was a better choice than Exjade. I originally had Exjade approved by insurance - but then had them switch to Jadenu - a bit complicated but they did it. I was on Jadenu for about a month before transplant without any side effects.

Best,
Paul
