I agree with Zaini, that is why I contacted Cipla's representative in Pakistan to get me Desirox, and my brother is using Desirox from 1 month, no side effect (Thank God) Alhamdulillah!!

It's not as expensive as Asunra/Exjade is!!!!!!!

Zaini, that's on of the reasons why I am so angry about it. I always thought deferiprone was expensive, but it wasn't when. When I started taking deferiprone nobody made it on big scale, We bought it by a big building trade... Well, that's ofcourse not true. i probably was out of order due.
A project. Just by a pharmacy. i have no idea why I use those words :s I must have veen affected by "law fevers" hahah!
Desirox is deferiprone?

Deferirpone let me eat day and night. The feeling of hungry was always with me.  :(

Dore,

Desirox is not defriprone,it's another version of Exjade/Asunra,made by an indian company.

hi buddies ,
people who think that Asunra/Exjade is better than Ciple's Desirox beczoe Cipla have no trials and trials data about Desirox ,. i want to raise a question that if Desirox is not the same Copy of Exjade/Asunra then how can Novartis file a petition and took Cipla to the Court for Copying their ( novartis's) drug ???.. they cant if that ( cipla's desirox ) is not the same drug .. if that is same then they eligible to file  the petition, as they did ... soo i think that Desirox is the same drug and only name of drug  and company name is changed ... Wat do you think ???... and if it is same then i would like to quote andy's post ,
http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?board=5.0
Quote
OsveralĀ® is the equivalent of Exjade and has gone through physicochemical tests and shows equality with Exjade. (Once a drug is introduced, generic equivalents do not have to undergo the same testing on patients as the original drug, but rather, chemical equality is shown. Patients can expect the same results once chemical equality has been proven). Osveral is an oral chelator and is taken in the same dosages as Exjade in the same manner.

Have your say buddies  i m waiting ...

Take Care

As long as physiochemical equality is shown, they are the same drug. What may vary are things like fillers etc. that hold the tabs together, but this would not affect the efficacy of the drugs.

Dear All friends

I think Desirox,is not much better than asunra. i realize some ppl. take Desirox, but their iron level is so high and their apprentice look is also changed .

My doctor stopped my asunra and told me  Kalfer and desferol is the  best drug if tolerate (Suit)

so my all friends please check your iron level and Serum Criatinin regularly if you take Desirox or Asunra
 
thanks

Hamendra,

Your doctor is right. There is currently no better chelation method than the combination of desferal and kelfer (Ferriprox elsewhere). No chelation method offers better chelation and protection from iron, as kelfer has a protective effect on the heart. Asunra, Exjade and Desirox are all the same med and are more suitable for maintenance of low ferritin levels than reducing iron ferritin. These Exjade drugs can reduce ferritin but high doses are required for those with a serious iron load.
