Exjade

Hi Cheri,
You have started with a quite high dose of Exjade if you took 1500 mg initially - hopefully everything will be OK.

Your ferritin level is really rather low which is very positive . As you probably know Exjade have many effects and can increase the HGB due decreasing the oxidative stress in the bone marrow.

The most common adverse effect is increasing creatinine due to negative impact of the kidneys - do they follow your creatinine.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
