Jadenu/Exjade

HI - I just started on the iron chelator Jadenu - its a newer and supposedly less toxic version of Exjade - the docs are trying to reduce my iron as I approach a transplant - and to help my heart which is having problems that may at least be partially related to my anemia, blood transfusions (both iron overload and the frequently added volume - The warnings for Jadenu are quite scary - and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with that drug or Exjade - and how long it took to reduce iron overload - and if they experienced any serious side effects.

Thanks
