Exjade Side Effects...

I've been a long-time user of Exjade and your side effects may be quite different. The list of side effects given by Novartis is huge and unnerving for new users! But everyone is different and you'll have to keep a close eye on what's possible for you.

One bit of advice from my personal Exjade "problems" is the adverse effect it has on my serum creatinine levels and hence kidney function. I have to suspend taking Exjade for several weeks. That's all it takes to lower and improve things for me. Make sure you and your doc is aware of your creatinine levels!
