Product Overview
About Deferasirox Mylan
Deferasirox Mylan is a prescription medicine that should be started and supervised by a doctor who is experienced in the treatment of chronic iron overload.
What it is used for
Deferasirox Mylan is used to treat chronic iron overload.
How it is used
Deferasirox Mylan is available as film-coated tablets (90 mg, 180 mg and 360 mg), to be taken once a day at around the same time. The starting dose of Deferasirox Mylan depends on the patient’s body weight, what the medicine is used for, and on the level of iron overload. The dose is then adjusted as needed, every 3 to 6 months, according to the iron levels in the blood.
How it works
The active substance in Deferasirox Mylan, deferasirox, is an ‘iron chelator’. It attaches to excess iron in the body to form a compound called a ‘chelate’ that can be removed by the body, mainly in the stool. This helps to correct the iron overload and prevent damage to organs such as the heart or liver from excess iron.
