¿Qué es Ferriprox?
Ferriprox (deferiprona) es un quelante de hierro oral utilizado en el tratamiento de pacientes con síndromes de talasemia cuando hay sobrecarga de hierro debido a transfusiones. El componente activo, la deferiprona, ayuda a reducir el exceso de hierro al unirse al hierro libre en el torrente sanguíneo, que luego se excreta principalmente a través de la orina. Este medicamento es especialmente valioso para pacientes que no están adecuadamente controlados con otras terapias de quelación.Side Effects
- Skin rash, itching, redness (at any time during treatment, or after treatment stops).
- Unusual bleeding, bruising, or weakness.
- Seizures, clumsiness.
Warnings
- Your skin might be more fragile while you are using penicillamine, especially on your shoulders, elbows, knees, toes, or buttocks. Your skin might also heal more slowly than usual. Talk to your doctor before you have any kind of surgery, because your dose of this medicine might need to be changed.
- You might need to take your temperature every night when you first start using this medicine.
- For people who have diabetes: Succimer may affect the results of some urine tests for ketones (such as Ketostix®). Ask your doctor what kind of ketone test you should use while you are using succimer.
- For Wilson€™s disease, you might need to use this medicine for one to three months before you notice any improvement. The symptoms of Wilson€™s disease might get worse when you first start using this medicine. If your symptoms get very bad or keep getting worse, tell your doctor.
- Some people have too much heavy metal in their bodies because they were exposed to it, such as in the home or at work. The metal could still be in their surroundings. If this is your situation, then you must get rid of the metal or learn how to protect yourself. This medicine will not protect you from a heavy metal that you are still being exposed to. Find out how you were exposed. Ask your health caregiver about the best ways to get rid of or avoid the heavy metal that caused the problem.
