Is he thallasemic? 2 iron chelators: asunra 100 mg (deferasirox) 20 mg per kg once a day.Monitor for kidney function. Kelfer 250 mg (deferiprone) 25 mg per kg thrice a day Monitor for blood counts. Both are oral chelators. But be in touch with your doctor when you are on such medicines.Net consultation wont do.

hi its not advisable to start chelation on your own. once your child completes considerable number of transfusions, you will b advised blood test, if any iron overload then child will be put on chelation therapy under doctor's supervision
