Thalassemia is a rare hereditary disease. In addition to iron removal and blood transfusion, the vast majority of patients in China use oral Deferasirox dispersible tablets for treatment. Oral (Deferasirox) treatment is far safer and more convenient than blood transfusion, and has fewer side effects. Can Deferasirox be reimbursed by medical insurance?

According to Medical Companion Travel, Deferasirox is currently on the market in China, but is not included in domestic medical insurance. If patients want to buy cheaper Deferasirox, they can choose Deferasirox sold in India or Deferasirox produced by cipla in India. The specification 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.

At present, the most reliable channel for purchasing Indian Deferasirox is for patients to go abroad to India in person. After arriving in India, patients go directly to a regular Indian hospital for treatment, and then take the doctor's prescription to the corresponding authoritative pharmacy to purchase medicines. Do not go to the Indian black market to buy medicines in order to save money. The quality of medicines in the black market is not guaranteed, and most of them are fake medicines. In addition, you can also purchase medicines through domestic overseas medical service institutions (such as Medical Companion Travel). For detailed procedures, please consult the Medical Companion Travel Service.

(Deferasirox) The recommended starting daily dose is 20 mg/kg. For patients who receive monthly transfusions of more than 14 mL/kg of packed red blood cells (ie, more than 4 units/month in adults) and who need to reduce excess iron exposure, a starting dose of 30 mg/kg/day may be considered. For patients who receive monthly transfusions of less than 7 mL/kg of packed red blood cells (i.e., less than 2 units/month in adults) and who need to maintain body iron balance, a starting dose of 10 mg/kg/day may be considered. In patients who have already responded well to deferoxamine therapy, an initial dose equivalent to half the deferoxamine dose may be considered. Take Deferasirox once daily on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before meals. It is best to take Deferasirox at the same time each day.
