Desferal

Hi Greg,
Yes, inside the pump there is high pressure and the infusion is given for example 2 ml/hour - I don't remember but the figures are written on a paper glued to the pump. Actually a pump is quite expensive and in Sweden it is only used once. Here Desferal - that has been used about 40 years - is the first drug for iron chelation.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
