(Deferasirox) is an oral active chelating agent that is highly selective for iron. Deferasirox is a ligand with three protrusions that binds iron with high affinity in a 2:1 ratio. Although Deferasirox has very low affinity for zinc and copper, the concentrations of these trace metals in serum still decrease to varying degrees after administration. Therefore, Deferasirox can mainly be used to treat chronic iron overload caused by frequent blood transfusions in patients with β-thalassemia older than 6 years old.

Where can I buy Deferasirox?

At present, Deferasirox has been approved for marketing in China. Domestic patients can obtain Deferasirox at large hospitals in my country with a prescription. The domestic price of Deferasirox is relatively high, with a box costing about $2,000. It is recommended that patients with iron accumulation, such as those who require long-term blood transfusions, should take the medicine according to their own weight. Generally, it is recommended to take 20 mg/kg daily at the initial stage. Next, it can be adjusted according to the serum ferritin index. The patient may need to adjust or increase the dose of deferasirox. Generally, the dose will be increased in units of 5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg. The total dose of Deferasirox should not exceed 30 mg/kg per day. Patients need to pay about $24,000 a month.

If patients cannot afford the price of Deferasirox in China, they can consult overseas medical service organizations (such as Medical Companion Travel) to purchase Deferasirox, which is available in India. The original version of deferasirox produced by Novartis in India is 400mg*30 tablets/box, priced at approximately RMB 700; while the generic version of deferasirox produced by Cipla Pharmaceuticals in India is 500mg*30 tablets/box, priced at approximately RMB 500.
