Exjade side effects...

I've been taking Exjade for about five years and I have to keep a close eye on Creatinine because one of its side effects is to push up Creatinine levels beyond my "normal" level. When that happens, I stop for about three weeks and confirm the Creatinine level has come down. My doc and I came to an agreement that keeping the serum ferritin around 1000ug/L works OK for me. And I've had quite a few more transfusions than you.
