Exjade (active ingredient: deferasirox) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Chronic Iron Overload: Exjade is used for the treatment of chronic iron overload due to blood transfusions in patients 2 years of age and older.
  2. Non-Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia: It is also indicated for the treatment of chronic iron overload in patients 10 years of age and older with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia syndromes.

Exjade belongs to a class of drugs known as iron chelators, which work by binding to excess iron in the body and facilitating its excretion, thereby reducing iron levels in the blood and tissues.

Exjade is available in tablet and suspension form and should be taken once daily on an empty stomach, preferably 30 minutes before food. The tablet should not be chewed, or it must be swallowed whole. The tablets should be used in water, orange juice, or apple juice until the tablets have completely broken apart and are well mixed into the liquid. Patients should drink all the mixture right away, using about 1/2 cup (3.5 ounces/100 milliliters) of liquid for doses of less than 1 gram and about 1 cup (7 ounces/200 milliliters) for doses more than 1 gram.

Patients should take Exjade by mouth on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before food, as directed by their healthcare provider, usually once daily. Patients should avoid taking this medication with antacids that contain aluminum, as this may affect how deferasirox works. Patients should always follow their healthcare provider’s instructions when taking this medication.
