Safely Buy Exjade (Deferasirox) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Description

Exjade is the brand name for Deferasirox, this active drug is known as an iron chelator that removes the excess iron in the body. A high level of iron in the body is called Iron Overload IO, it can increase the risk of vital organ diseases such as liver disease, heart failure, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. 

What is Exjade used for? 

Exjade is used to reduce Iron Overload in patients who receive a long-term blood transfusion. It is also used as a treatment for an inherited blood disorder called Beta-Thalassemia. It is a condition that requires a regular blood transfusion because their body doesn’t make normal hemoglobin that leads to anemia. This medication works in this condition by binding the iron thus helping the body to excrete it in the stool.  

Exjade Dosage 

The prescription of this medication is based on individual weight, medical condition, and laboratory test results.  Before Exjade, the administration of Deferasirox is subcutaneous or intravenously but now Exjade can be taken orally. Exjade 500 mg, 250 mg, and 125 mg are in dispersible tablet form that is diluted in water or any liquid drink, the tablet falls apart as grains and does not dissolve so after drinking the whole glass add a little amount of liquid to get the remaining. A dose of less than 1 gram can be diluted in a ½ cup of liquid while if it is more than 1 gram then you should use 1 cup of liquid. This medicine should be taken on an empty stomach on a regular schedule. It may be taken 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after a meal. In case of a missed dose, take it as soon as remembered if it is not near your next schedule of intake, if it does, let it be missed and take the next dose on regular time.
