Iron overload increases the risk of infection, endocrine system damage, vital organ dysfunction, AML transformation in MDS patients, and shortens survival. Iron chelators are currently the mainstream treatment for iron removal. Among them, deferasirox is easy to administer, significantly reduces ferritin levels, and has a definite effect in protecting important target organ systems such as the liver, heart, and endocrine system. It is currently the preferred option for iron removal treatment. It is an oral iron chelator. Its primary use is to reduce chronic iron overload in patients receiving chronic transfusions for conditions such as beta-thalassemia and other chronic anemias. This is the first oral drug approved for this purpose in the United States. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2005. According to the FDA (May 2007), renal failure and cytopenias have been reported in patients receiving deferasirox oral suspension tablets. It is approved in the EU by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for patients aged 6 years and older with chronic iron overload from repeated blood transfusions.

Will deferasirox be reimbursed by medical insurance?

According to Medical Companion Travel, Deferasirox is currently on the market in China, but it is not included in domestic medical insurance. If patients want to buy cheap Deferasirox, they can choose Deferasirox sold in India. Deferasirox produced by cipla, India, is 500mg*30 tablets/box, and the price is equivalent to RMB 500$. The original drug Deferasirox launched by Novartis in India is 400mg*30 tablets/box, priced at approximately RMB 700.

Currently, Deferasirox in India is not available in the country. Patients can only purchase it through the following methods. The first method is to fly directly to the Indian hospital pharmacy to purchase it. However, I would like to remind everyone that you must go to a regular hospital in India to buy, and do not go to the wholesale market, where there is a mixed bag of good and bad, and there are countless counterfeit products. The second option is that if financial conditions do not allow or the condition is serious, patients can choose a professional overseas medical service institution [such as Medical Companion Travel] in China, and purchase drugs through this institution’s public welfare drug search method. The safety of the drugs is guaranteed and all costs are transparent.
