Jadenu - the new Exjade oral pill
« on: April 28, 2015, 06:24:01 PM »
We received the new Exjade once a day pill, called Jadenu....and it is life changing if your child can swallow a small pill. It is smaller in size than the multivit we take and no aftertaste....

However, we did have a higher co-pay than Exjade. So, we applied for co-pay assistance with the drug company and were accepted. In US, if you are not able to buy Jadenu (or Exjade) for higher co-pay , you can get the co-pay assistance from the drug company. There is no income limit but does have some restrictions on what kind of insurance you have...But still worth a try calling them up.

Jadenu is exactly what everyone has been asking for in a chelator. A truly once a day, easy to take, get back on with your life, pill.

Jay,
we had a $1000 co-pay for 3 months supply. not sure what the amount is if we had no insurance.

The pill is really helping. The only side effect so far is itching but there is no rash. From the day my daughter started the pill, she is complaining of itching...the weather is changing too so not sure it is truly Jadenu or the dry skin.

All it will take for India to get it is for Cipla to copy it.

Bostanian ,

Can you update us how the new iron chelation tablet Jadenu is working for your kid. Do you see positive improvements as compared to Exjade. Did you also get a Ferritin test done after moving onto Jadenu and do you see the results being better.

Anyone having any experience on Jadenu can you please share with the group as well.

Regards ,

Yogesh
