Exjade (deferasirox) for Iron Overload "I began taking Exjade in 2017 for iron overload in my liver. To start, I didn't like the way that I had to take it. I had to mix 3 tablets with water or orange juice. They did not dissolve very well. The breakdown of the tablets was gritty. Side effects: rash, diarrhea, weak kidneys, and symptoms of gout. Stopped taking after about eight months to a year, and the issues started clearing up, but I am still suffering from kidney issues. I do not recommend this drug to anyone."

For Hemochromatosis "Lost 20 lbs, no appetite, diarrhea, been 6 weeks now since my last dose and still not back to 100%. My problem is I also have MDS with hemochromatosis. Dr. still doesn't have it figured out. Blood work showed my iron level went up, and kidney function went down."

Jadenu (deferasirox) for Thalassemia "Wonder medicine, never had any symptoms. Mainly reviewing to outweigh the bad reviews, not to discredit them, but so insurance can see that this is a good quality medicine that has kept me alive for almost 10 years."
