Yes, watch your creatinine level. I was put on Exjade to lower my ferritin (3660). I also had low platelets (transfusion dependent, in fact). But I was able to take the Exjade for only a couple of weeks before the doctor discontinued it because of its adverse effects on my kidneys. Interestingly, I felt fine while taking it, and I don't believe it had any particular effect on my platelet count.
