hello,
I have superficial siderosis and I'm taking part of a study for effects of ferriprox. At the end of the month the study will end and so will the ferriprox. I was searching online and found some for sale in mexico. Has anyone purchased this from Mexico?
-
I have sent an inquiry on your behalf to find out if Ferriprox is even legally available in Mexico. There may be one other possibility for getting Ferriprox in the US and I am checking into that also.

Ferriprox is not available in Mexico, so if it's real Ferriprox, it is gray market and brought in from another country. I would be very suspect of it.
I am sending you some information to your email address. It may be possible for you to get Ferriprox in the US.

@ WHY ,
i take Ferriprox 9 pills a day .. i m not good at memory but i always try my best to keep my meds on time and i rarely forget a dose ( though i did forget often to drink my tea placedneart o my Pc monitorr screen, infront of me :D , but i'm pretty regular with my meds ) ...
@ Baal,
Your nn mine Exprience is almost same ...
@ Ayesha,
when i begn to start ferriprox i faced the same probleme ... i had stomach dis-comfort , nausea and loos of apetite and a few more stomach, digesting and vomting kind of effects , so , i stopped it a few times but when i saw my ferrirtin then i decided not to stop it in any miinor side effect case.... so , i kept taking it and withini a few weeks i got used to it .. and since then i never had any side-effect to it..
when one of my friend begn with ferriprox he had this side-efects , he asked me if i can buy remained ferriprox to him , i sugested him in light of my experience with ferriprox to keep taking ferriprox for 2-3 weeks more and it will suit you otherwise i wiill buy it to you .. he agreed and kept taking farriprox within a few weeks he reported that he is no more feeling uncomfortable with ferrprox... now it has been more than 18 months since he's taking ferriprox and he's satisfied and comfortable with it ...
when another friend mine begn with ferriproc and had the smae probleme i suggested himm to not stop ferriprox and it will suit you soon ,, he did and it has been more thana year since he is on Ferriprox .....
my personal opinion (its my personal opinion only ) to not stop ferriprox just bcoze of minor side-effects like nausea ... the friend of mien abt whom i wa stalking abt above in this post , at the time they asked me abt that i sugested them to not stop ferriproc bcoze of minor side-effects of it , ferriprox's benefits out weigh these minor effects .. i tolld them to carry on with it if they dont have any major side-effect like neutropenia ......
(Andy, please correct me if i'm wrong in my views for Ferriprox ... )
Best REgards
Take care
