Exjade and WBCs
Hi Deb,
I was never able to take more than 500 mg Exjade/day due to decreasing WBCs - according to my weight I should have been taking 1250 mg/day.
You should ask why the Exjade dose was reduced - if it is because of increasing creatinine you could perhaps try to drink much instead of reducing the Exjade. I have heard diet experts at different videos say that patients with bone marrow disoders should try to drink about 2 l fluid extra/day. I do that and hope that my bone marrow will function better.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
