Exjade
So, what would be the option (s) if Exjade cannot be tolerated? And at $6,000 per month, does anyone know if it is covered by Medicare? I have health insurance now, and expect to go on Medicare in one year. If Exjade takes that long to work, what long term effects should I look for? I realize creatinine levels, but is there anything else? It seems to have a bit of a constipating effect on me...nothing serious.
