Hi Bappy,

Exjade should be suitable. Please tell me how many mg per tablet and also your body weight. I can guide you in starting Exjade so that you don't get the early side effects. It is best to start out on a low dose and then once your body is used to it, you can raise the dose.

I am happy that Dr Robin is helping you. It is very difficult because of lack of funds, but they do the best they can with what they have. I would like to encourage people to consider donating supplies and unused medicines to the center in Bangladesh.
