Thumbs down Exjade and gastrointestinal tract irritation

Hi all,
Exjade is much more easy to administrate than Desferal beacase it is pills but can give adverse reactions like gastrointestinal tract irritation.

Exjade caused major nausea for John and slowed down his system. He's feels so much better not being on it.
