Ferriprox

Hi all,

I have a question regarding ferriprox, as i read the below link, it stated that if the patient have one of the symptoms, we need to consult the hema but at the moment, the hema is off because it is sunday, just wondering anyone have any experience before, consuming Ferriprox while you are having fever and flu. Thanks.

My mom have flu and fever before consuming the ferriprox. Now she is taking 1500mg/day. I am worry about the info i found from the web. Should my mom stop taking the ferriprox till she is recovered from the flu and fever ?

Capture part of the side effect mentioned on the link

"Serious and sometimes fatal infections may occur during treatment with deferiprone. Stop using this medicine and call your doctor right away if you have signs of infection such as: fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, or sores in your mouth and throat."

Have a good weekend.
