Thanks Andy,Lena And Sharmin.I am thankful to God that at last after 14long yrs of Mohib illness I found such nice and helpful Friends.I can say now I am at right place.Mohib started Desferol When he was just 2yrs old and he is still using it.Actually he is using all the chelating agents, defriprone,asunra and desferal.Sometimes combo therapy of Desferal and asunra,sometimes separately.I found Desferal best but its immense painful to use pump.So Mohib wants to take oral medicines.As about folicacid,company name is Zafa and on the bottle its written Tablets BP 5mg.Mohib takes 4tabs a day.So what does it mean.Please tell me about taking Vit.C with Exjade.

Shaista,
we are glad that you feel you are among friends here. As Mohib did, I have also taken all three medications and remained finally at the Ferriprox- desferal combination therapy as this has better results than the others. You see, ferriprox clears and protects heart and desferal clears the liver and is more helpful in high ferritins, as Mohib's, than Asurna. I know it is painful to use the pump - I have been using it for 30 years - but, believe me, it is the best combination therapy together with ferriprox. Ferritin drops sooner than the other chelation schemes.
What about your doctor? What does he/she suggest for chelation therapy?
We are at your disposal for any question you want to ask,
Lena

Lena,
There is no doctor in Peshawar who can advise me about Mohib chelation.In 2006 I took Mohib U.k where Dr.Farrukhshah did all the treatment regarding chelation and even now I do all the chelation therapies according to her advice.Can you tell me that whether or not Vitamin C be taken with kelfer.

Andy Battaglia:
There have been no trials of the effects of taking vitamin C with any chelator besides desferal. Thals do need vitamin C, but should limit their intake to about 100 mg for children daily, and 200-250 mg daily for adults.
