Title: JADENU in Canada
Post by: Sharmin on August 28, 2015, 05:12:45 AM

Is anyone aware of whether Jadenu is available is being used by anyone in Canada?

We are awaiting its approval and we've been told they it hasn't been requested in Canada as of yet. 

Many thanks,

Sharmin

Hi Sharmin,

We have heard same story in Toronto. I think it will be sometime before Health Canada will approve it. Hope for the best.

Kindly,
