Andy Battaglia:
Yes, you can continue to take vitamin C with desferal. Take it when you are starting the desferal. If you miss a dose...

--- Quote ---What should I do if I miss a dose of Ferriprox?
If you miss one dose take it as soon as you remember and take your next dose at its regularly scheduled time. If you miss more than one dose do not take the missed tablets, just continue with your normal schedule. Do not change your daily dose without first talking to your doctor.

Rehman,
you can take vitamin c preferably when starting desferal or even a little before. Do not worry about Ferriprox at all. Just take vit.c when starting desferal.
