What is Deferasirox used for?

Deferasirox is primarily used to treat iron overload, often resulting from frequent blood transfusions. It is designed to bind to iron and help the body eliminate it. This process can be crucial for individuals who require regular blood transfusions, as it helps manage the buildup of iron in the body. Deferasirox tablets are taken orally and work by chelating iron, which means they bind to iron and allow it to be excreted.
