Iron chelation

Hi Vikasgoyal,
We still don't know enough about iron chelation in MDS patients. In Sweden the more than 40 years old drug Desferal given intravenously for 4 days from a small homepump is common. I have received 57 Desferal infusions without any adverse effects.

Exjade is a pill and easy to take but gives much more adverse effects.
