Question 5

What is Ferriprox?

Accepted Answer

Ferriprox is used by people with a certain type of blood disorder known as thalassemia, who have too much iron in their body caused by repeated blood transfusions. Blood transfusions help people with blood disorders, but they also bring extra iron into the body. High levels of iron in the blood can lead to heart failure, liver disease, and diabetes. The active ingredient in this medication is deferiprone. It works by attaching to iron which helps your body to pass out excess iron in the urine. This FDA-approved medication is available as an oral liquid and can be taken with or without meals, usually three times a day. Using this medication with food may help to reduce feelings of nausea. Carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device. Do not use a household spoon because you may get the wrong dose. Your doctor will recommend an appropriate dose for you based on an assessment of your current medical condition, other drugs you are currently taking, and your response to treatment. Your treatment may need to be adjusted or stopped if you develop serious side effects. Follow your doctor's instructions and keep all your laboratory appointments and checkups.
