Exjade contains the active ingredient deferasirox. It is a prescription medication used to treat chronic iron overload, which happens when too much iron builds up in the body over time.
Iron is necessary for normal body functions, but excessive amounts can become harmful. Because the body has no easy way to remove large amounts of extra iron, treatment may be needed to prevent damage to organs and tissues.
Exjade is used to treat chronic iron overload caused by repeated blood transfusions in patients 2 years of age and older.
Each unit of transfused blood contains iron. When a person receives many transfusions over time, the extra iron from those transfusions can gradually accumulate in the body.
This is especially common in people with long-term blood disorders that require frequent transfusions.
The body normally controls iron very carefully and removes only small amounts each day.
When iron enters the body through repeated transfusions, the body may receive much more iron than it can safely store or eliminate.
Over time, this excess iron can collect in the liver, heart, endocrine glands, and other organs.
Exjade may also be used in patients 10 years of age and older with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia syndromes who have chronic iron overload.
People with these conditions may not need regular transfusions, but their bodies can absorb unusually large amounts of iron from food.
This increased absorption can eventually cause harmful iron buildup even without frequent blood transfusions.
Small amounts of stored iron are normal, but excessive iron can damage cells and tissues.
If iron overload continues for a long time, it may affect important organs such as the liver and heart. It can also interfere with hormone-producing glands and other body systems.
Reducing excess iron is therefore an important part of managing chronic iron overload.
Exjade belongs to a group of medications called iron chelators.
An iron chelator works by attaching, or binding, to excess iron in the body. Deferasirox forms a complex with this extra iron so that it can be removed more easily.
After deferasirox binds to excess iron, the iron-drug complex is mainly eliminated through the stool.
With continued treatment, this process gradually removes stored iron and can lower the overall amount of iron in the body.
By reducing excessive iron stores, Exjade may help lower the risk of complications associated with long-term iron overload.
The goal of treatment is not to remove all iron from the body. Instead, treatment aims to bring iron levels into a safer range while maintaining the iron needed for normal body functions.
Your healthcare provider will usually monitor your iron levels during treatment.
Tests such as serum ferritin measurements may be used to estimate the amount of stored iron in the body. Other tests may also be needed depending on your condition.
These results help your healthcare provider determine whether Exjade is working and whether your dose should be adjusted.
Exjade removes excess iron gradually, so treatment may continue for months or longer depending on how much iron has accumulated.
Your iron levels may not fall immediately. Regular treatment and follow-up testing are important for determining how well the medication is working.
Exjade does not treat the underlying blood disorder that caused the iron overload.
For example, it does not treat thalassemia or eliminate the need for blood transfusions when transfusions are medically necessary.
Its role is specifically to help remove excess iron that has accumulated in the body.
Taking Exjade consistently helps maintain ongoing removal of excess iron.
Skipping doses frequently can slow the reduction of iron stores. Your healthcare provider will monitor your response and decide how long treatment should continue based on your iron levels and overall health.
Exjade is usually taken once a day on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before eating.
Try to take it at about the same time each day. A regular schedule can make it easier to remember your dose and helps support consistent removal of excess iron from the body.
Exjade tablets are not meant to be chewed or swallowed whole.
Instead, place the prescribed number of tablets into water, orange juice, or apple juice and stir until the tablets have completely broken apart and are well dispersed in the liquid.
The mixture may look cloudy or contain fine particles. This is expected.
For doses of less than 1,000 mg, mix the tablets with about ½ cup, or 100 mL, of liquid.
For doses of 1,000 mg or more, use about 1 cup, or 200 mL, of liquid.
Using enough liquid helps make sure the tablets disperse properly and makes the full dose easier to take.
Once the tablets are fully dispersed, drink the entire mixture immediately.
Do not prepare the dose ahead of time and save it for later.
Some medication may remain on the sides or bottom of the glass after you drink the mixture.
If this happens, add a small amount of water, orange juice, or apple juice to the glass, stir again, and drink the remaining liquid.
This helps ensure you receive the complete prescribed dose.
Exjade should be taken on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before food.
Taking it according to these instructions helps your body absorb the medication consistently.
Do not take Exjade at the same time as antacids that contain aluminum unless your healthcare provider specifically recommends it.
Tell your healthcare provider about any antacids, stomach medicines, supplements, or other medications you use.
Exjade works gradually to remove excess iron, so it is important to take it every day as prescribed.
Do not skip doses frequently, take extra medication, or change your dose on your own. Irregular treatment may make it harder to bring your iron levels into the desired range.
The amount of Exjade you need may change during treatment.
Your healthcare provider will usually monitor your iron levels, kidney function, liver function, and overall response. Based on these results, your dose may be increased, decreased, or temporarily stopped.
Taking more Exjade than recommended will not remove iron faster and may increase the risk of serious side effects.
Always use the exact dose prescribed by your healthcare provider.
If you have difficulty preparing or drinking the Exjade mixture, talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Do not change how you take the medication without guidance, because different deferasirox formulations may have different instructions.
For the best results, take Exjade once daily, on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before food, and prepare the tablets exactly as directed.
Regular treatment and scheduled laboratory tests are important because they help your healthcare provider make sure Exjade is removing excess iron safely and effectively.
Exjade (Deferasirox) available in the following forms and strength:
If you miss a dose of Exforge HCT, take it as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
Do not use Exforge HCT during pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters, because valsartan can harm an unborn baby.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Exforge HCT.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver disease, kidney disease, or an electrolyte imbalance before starting treatment.
Exforge HCT can affect kidney function and levels of minerals such as potassium and sodium, so your healthcare provider may order blood tests during treatment.
Exforge HCT may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, especially when treatment is first started or after the dose is increased.
Stand up slowly after sitting or lying down. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
Because Exforge HCT contains hydrochlorothiazide, it can increase urine production and cause your body to lose water and salt.
Drink fluids as recommended by your healthcare provider. Contact them if you develop severe thirst, weakness, dry mouth, confusion, or persistent dizziness.
Rarely, Exforge HCT can cause a serious allergic reaction.
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop a rash, severe itching, trouble breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Exforge HCT can interact with certain medications, including other blood pressure medicines, potassium-sparing diuretics, lithium, and medicines that affect kidney function or electrolyte levels.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and herbal supplements you take.
Before starting Exforge HCT, tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had an allergic reaction to amlodipine, valsartan, hydrochlorothiazide, or any other medication.
This information helps your healthcare provider determine whether Exforge HCT is safe for you.
Yes. Exjade can affect kidney function, and the risk may be higher in people who already have kidney problems or who take other medications that can damage the kidneys. Your healthcare provider may order regular blood and urine tests to monitor kidney function during treatment.
If you take more Exjade than prescribed, seek immediate medical attention. An overdose may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, kidney problems, or changes in liver function. Do not wait for symptoms to become severe before getting help.
Exjade lowers excess iron gradually, so the full effect is not immediate. It may take several months of regular treatment before a significant reduction in iron levels is seen. Your healthcare provider will monitor your iron levels and adjust treatment if needed.
Exjade dispersible tablets are generally taken on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before food. Different deferasirox formulations may have different instructions, so follow the directions for the specific product you were prescribed and do not switch formulations without medical guidance.
Yes. Exjade may be used in children 2 years of age and older for chronic iron overload caused by repeated blood transfusions. For certain patients with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia, treatment may be used in children 10 years of age and older. The dose is usually based on body weight, iron levels, and response to treatment.
