Deferasirox is an iron chelator. It grabs onto extra iron in the body so the body can get rid of it, mostly in the stools (poo). Extra iron builds up in people who need many blood transfusions, because the body has no natural way to remove it, and over time it can damage the liver and heart. Deferasirox is a prescription medicine that is started and checked by specialists. It is taken by mouth as tablets, granules, or tablets that are dissolved in a drink. These forms are absorbed differently and cannot be swapped for one another without the doctor's advice.
- Long-term iron overload in people who have many blood transfusions, such as people with beta thalassaemia major
- Iron overload from blood transfusions in other types of anaemia, when deferoxamine (another iron-removing medicine) is not suitable or has not worked
- Iron overload in thalassaemia that does not need regular transfusions (non-transfusion-dependent thalassaemia), in children aged 10 and over and adults
- It can be used in children aged 2 and over who have regular transfusions

- Get emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue, throat or eyes, a hoarse voice, or trouble breathing or swallowing.
- Get emergency help if you vomit blood or something that looks like coffee grounds, or pass black, tarry or bright red stools. These can be signs of bleeding in the stomach or gut.
