Ferritin
Hi Debra,
Perhaps your father could try Desferal for iron overload? Desferal has been used for 40 years. You have to get it iv or sc - there are no pills.
I have got 80 units of packed red blood cells and had a port-a-cath implanted for Desferal that I now get iv for 4 days in connection with transfusions. I have not felt any adverse reactions.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
70 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 May 2006, transfusion dependent from dx, Desferal, Neupogen 2 injections/week for low white blood cells
