Andy Battaglia:
It's still well within the normal range. Have you taken Exjade for long?

FatsT:
I've only started it 3 months ago

Andy Battaglia:
Just continue to have your white cell count monitored. This has not been an issue for thalassemics using Exjade. The more common problems with Exjade are elevated liver function values and elevated serum creatinine. These should already be monitored for all patients using Exjade.

FatsT:
Is it okay to take magnesium if you're on exjade?

Andy Battaglia:
Yes it is, but any supplements containing minerals should not be taken at the same time as the Exjade, as they can react with the Exjade and lessen its iron chelating effects, so make sure there is a several hour gap before taking any minerals.
