Iron Overload Medications

Iron overload occurs when there is an excessive accumulation of iron in the body, often due to repeated blood transfusions, certain genetic disorders, or excessive dietary iron intake. This condition can lead to serious health issues, including damage to organs such as the liver, heart, and pancreas.

 

Generic Medications for Iron Overload

Common medications for managing iron overload include Deferasirox, Deferiprone, and Desferoxamine. These chelating agents help reduce excess iron by promoting its excretion from the body, thereby preventing complications associated with iron overload.
