Andy Battaglia:
Post marketing observations have shown that swelling of the skin (angioedema) has occurred in some patients. In severe cases, Exjade must be stopped. Alia, your doctor should be made aware of this, so the selling can be monitored. Any sign of a severe reaction should lead to at least temporary cessation of the drug.

What is your daughter's body weight? The Exjade dosage is determined by body weight.

hi all
i talk to saras doctor and she told me that the swelling is not that bad,she got adimia and its not that bad to stop the mdicine.sara is not angoadimia as she is too well for that , she would've had more swelling around evrywhare in the body. i was rlieve about that. my only worry is her fritten went even more up before was 2700 now after 1 transfusion it went up to 2900. the exjade is clearly not working.
