Zaini:
Ayesha,
If you are taking 500 mg of Vitamin C daily,it's too much.
From http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=118.0
--- Quote ---Vitamin C 100-250 mg taken with desferal (helps more iron to be excreted). Do NOT take more than 250 mg daily if thal. Too much iron can be freed into the bloodstream where it can cause clumping in the heart, causing lowered heart function.
--- End quote ---
So cut it down to 250 mg max,and take it only when you are taking desferal.

Ayesha:
I couldn't find any tablet containing Vitamin C in power of 100 to 250 :/
so Vitamin C is not necessary daily???
and Zaini can I have the direct link to IP6 web-page?

Take half of the 500mg tablet Ayesha, remaining half can be taken the next day ;-)
\peace/
Zaini:
Vitamin C may be usefull for any other non thal person on daily basis,but thals should take it only when they are taking desferal.This tablet you are taking is a water soluble one or you are swallowing them?
I give my daughter Abocal,i cut it in to 2 pieces,giver her half tab when she takes desferal.you can also take half tablet,it will divide your dose in half i.e 250 mg.
