What is Exjade?

Exjade contains the prescription medicine deferasirox, which is classed as a chelating agent medicine. Exjade is used to remove excess iron from the body. When iron builds up it becomes harmful to tissues in your body. The extra iron can not be removed naturally by our bodies so iron is stored in cells. The liver is the main iron storage site, but once it is full your body starts to store iron in other organs such as the heart.

Exjade is used in adults and children from 2 years of age for excess iron caused by repeated blood transfusions. It can also be used in adults and children from 10 years old for non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia, which is caused without blood transfusions.

Exjade active ingredients

Deferasirox is the active ingredient in Exjade. It is an iron chelator meaning it can bind tightly to iron in the body. Once the drug has attached to the iron, your body removes it by passing it through your kidneys and out in your urine.

This medicine needs to be taken on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before eating and at the same time every day. Do not chew or crush the tablet. Swallow the tablet whole. Exjade tablets should be put into a glass of apple juice, orange juice, or water and allowed to break up in the liquid. Be aware the tablet will not fully dissolve. Drink this mixture right away. To make sure you get the entire dose, add a little more liquid to the same glass, swirl gently, and drink right away.

It is important to know that you will have your blood tested on a regular basis while you are taking this medication. Also, every 6 months your kidney or liver function may need to be checked, and a liver biopsy may also be needed.
