mother of little:
hi iam new in ur society i am mother of little now a days my daughter ferritin level is high she is using exjad since 7months still i did not get any result i dont know what is the problem can advise me regarding this mater is it necesary to use aluminium glass  while taking exjad

Andy Battaglia:
Hi mother of little,

(Do you have any connection with another member from Saudi Arabia named father of little?)

Aluminum should be avoided with Exjade, because Exjade reacts with aluminum and it the aluminum neutralizes the Exjade, making it useless. For this reason, you also need to avoid any antacids that contain aluminum. Do not mix Exjade in any metal container or with any metal implement. Use plastic spoons to mix.

What is your daughter's weight and what dose of Exjade is she taking daily and for how long has she been on that dose?

Did You Know That:-
The loss of function of three alpha-globin genes is called hemoglobin H disease.

People with hemoglobin H disease have a variable phenotype that can range from mild symptoms to those similar to thalassemia major.

Andy Battaglia:
If all 4 alpha genes are deleted it is called hydrops fetalis and is nomally fatal by birth, as no hemoglobin can be produced. However, I would like to mention that I met someone on Facebook this week who is an alpha thal major and survived because she was born 3 months premature and was transfused. She is now in her 20's with a ferritin of well under 1000 and doing well. The premature birth undoubtedly saved her life.
