Question about allergic reaction to Desferal

<< < (3/3)

Sharmin:
Waleed,

Can you take an antihistamine with desferal for a few weeks? 

Also, with a ferritin level that high you should be taking combination chelation - desferal and exjade.  The iron will clear out of you body very quickly.  You should be chelating with desferal 7X a week - and having exjade.  The combination is very safe.  My son was part of the trial testing safety and efficacy of des/exjade combination - and it worked very well, very quicly.

Best of luck,

What bowel conditions have you considered?. Although the normal presentation is diarrhea this is not alway the case.

My daughter has Crohn's Disease and has never had any bowel symptoms.
