Are there interactions with other medicines? Should I avoid taking Exjade while taking other drugs?
At this time Deferasirox has not yet been tested in conjunction with other chelating agents. Combination therapy should be avoided until tests have been carried out by scientists. It is also recommended to avoid taking Exjade along with antacids which contain aluminium (these include Gaviscon, Maalox, Amphigel, Mi-Acid, Mylanta, Rulox and others). Doses of Vitamin C up to 200mg are well tolerated with Derasirox but there have been no formal studies with higher doses.
