Hi Beverly - I too Jadeneu for about a month or so prior to my transplant - My ferritin was around 1500. I tolerated it well - didn't notice any side effects. I'm not sure how well it worked in lowering iron. Post transplant, after many more transfusions, my ferritin peaked at over 5000 - its was around 4000 last month and there was talk of starting phlebotomies - Since my hemoglobin is up in the normal range - they will prefer to go that route and avoid giving me another drug to add to the fistful I'm already taking - but Jadeneu was not a problem for me.
Best wishes,
Paul
