What is Deferasirox?
Deferasirox is an oral iron chelator used primarily for the treatment of chronic iron overload due to blood transfusions in conditions such as thalassemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. It works by binding with excess iron in the body, allowing it to be excreted through the feces.
