Title: Crushing Exjade in food
Post by: sophiag on May 29, 2013, 06:04:50 PM

Hi All,

I haven't found much information concerning crushing exjade tablets into soft food. Is this ok? Does the medication work just as well as dissolving into a liquid.

Thanks,
Sophia

Yes, this was first announced by Novartis in 2011 after a small study showed that Exjade worked well when crushed and mixed with various soft foods and liquids. You can use almost any soft food, The main thing is that the medicine is taken.
