Exjade Ferritin level

H Marlene,
Wonderful that John isnĀ“t transfusion dependent .

Yes, both Exjade and the other oral iron chelatot, Ferriprox, have similar dosage info: Interruption of therapy should be considered if serum ferritin measurements fall below 500 but with Desferal it is 1000. Perhaps Desferal is more toxic when ferritin is low ?
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
