January 2016 in “Journal of clinical biochemistry and nutrition” Deferasirox combined with sorafenib reduces liver cancer risk and lessens treatment side effects.
April 2023 in “Tikrit Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences” The study on 85 patients with ß-thalassemia in Kirkuk, Iraq, found that deferasirox, an oral iron chelator, effectively reduced serum ferritin levels in 55.3% of patients, indicating a decrease in iron overload. Some adverse effects were observed, including elevated serum creatinine in 25.8% of patients, elevated liver enzymes, and hair loss in 2 patients. Despite these side effects, deferasirox was generally well-tolerated, and its adverse effects could be managed by adjusting the dosage. The study concludes that deferasirox is a suitable treatment for managing iron overload in ß-thalassemia patients.
