Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions on DEFRATAJ Deferasirox dispersible tablets - clinical, regulatory and export.
DEFRATAJ (Deferasirox) is indicated for the treatment of chronic iron overload due to frequent blood transfusions in patients with beta-thalassemia major, sickle-cell disease and myelodysplastic syndromes, in line with locally approved prescribing information.
Drop the tablet(s) into 100-200 ml of water, orange juice or apple juice; stir until fully dispersed; drink immediately. Rinse the glass with additional liquid and drink that as well. Take on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before food, at the same time daily.
Deferasirox has been used for long-term chelation programmes spanning many years. Long-term use requires regular monitoring of renal function, hepatic function and serum ferritin, with dose adjustments as needed. Severe cutaneous reactions (SJS, TEN, DRESS) are rare but require immediate discontinuation if suspected.
DEFRATAJ dispersible tablets are available in 100 mg, 125 mg, 250 mg, 400 mg and 500 mg.
