Desferrioxamine is a drug used to treat iron overload. It is a chelating agent that binds to excess iron in the body to form a compound that can be excreted from the body. This is critical in patients with symptoms of iron overload, such as iron overload anemia or iron accumulation caused by blood transfusions. Desferrioxamine is usually given as an injection, with dosage and frequency determined based on the patient's specific condition and the recommendations of the physician. Some side effects may occur while using this medication, including pain at the injection site, skin redness, or allergic reactions. If serious adverse reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately. Patients should receive regular supervision and examinations from physicians while using Desferrioxamine to ensure treatment efficacy and safety.
Usage: Please ask a professional physician to guide the use of this drug. It is usually taken by injection or orally. Follow your physician's instructions when injecting. When taken orally, you may need to take it on an empty stomach or with food. Please follow your doctor's advice. Iron-rich foods such as red meat and beans should be avoided during use. Avoid excessive exercise or injury to reduce the risk of bleeding.
Dosage Guidelines: The usual initial dose for adults is 1 gram daily, divided into 2 to 3 divided doses. Based on physician evaluation, the dose may be adjusted to 2 to 3 grams per day. The dosage for children is adjusted according to weight and condition, usually 15 to 40 mg/kg body weight per day, taken in 2 to 3 times. Please use the medicine strictly according to the doctor's advice and do not adjust the dosage by yourself. If you have any discomfort or questions, you should consult a medical professional immediately.
