What is Deferasirox dispersible tablets?

Deferasirox dispersible tablets (Deferasirox) is an iron chelator and belongs to a class of drugs used to treat iron overload. Its main role is to help the body eliminate excess free iron from the body, especially in patients with iron accumulation due to multiple blood transfusions. These patients usually include patients with blood diseases such as thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, etc.

With multiple blood transfusions, patients may accumulate large amounts of iron, which may have harmful effects on the heart, liver, and other organs.
