How effective are Jadenu granules sachet 360 mg from Japan for chronic iron overload (Deferasirox, Exjade, Asunra, Oleptiss)?
Jadenu granules contain deferasirox, an oral iron chelator. It works by binding and excreting excessively accumulated iron from the body. Deferasirox removes the excessive iron not only from the blood, but also from the cells, such as cardiac myocytes and hepatocytes.
Who should use Jadenu granules sachet 360 mg from Japan?
Jadenu granules are effective for the treatment of chronic iron overload due to blood transfusions for conditions such as beta-thalassemia and other chronic anemias. This medicine is particularly recommended for use in case the treatment with iron chelator injection is inadequate. Due to low molecular weight and high lipophilicity of deferasirox, it can be taken orally unlike other chelators like deferoxamine (C. Bollig, L. K. Schell et al. “Deferasirox for managing iron overload in people with thalassaemia”. Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2017, 8(8): CD007476).
