Which is better Desirox or Asunra
« on: October 14, 2008, 12:55:58 PM »

Hi Friends

I have a confusion about two drugs for Iron Chelation  Asunra or Desirox.

1. Exjade has been released in India by Novartis as a  marketing name of Asunra

2. Cipla is marketing the drug under the marketing name of Desirox in India

Some Doctor are say they are same but some Doctor prefer asunra.
both drugs have a price difference also very high.

Please tell me which is the best i will afford both medicines. i have price is no matter.

Hi,

You should go with Asunra. Though its said both are the same drugs, but Cipla hasn't done any trials like Novartis has.

Hi hamender,
YOu can choose any one of them since both of tem are same withsame formulation only diffrence is the price and cipla has been widely accepted asGMP co. providing the life saving drugs at affordable price don't go by name of company is my suggestion rest is the mental satisfaction of yours which should matter in choosing the drug ; if you do cchoose desiorex then get the prescription for 3mths since you get one box free with every three boxes purchase thereby cutting yur cost further

According to the doctors we met in Singapore conference, there are no trails on using them togather and even they seem not interested to do so as they thing it is not a good idea combining asunra(exjade) with Kelfer L1 because the side effects of both are within the same area and it is not recommended to put this high load on the body.

If you're starting with Asunra, then why do you need to take Kelfer too? Any specific reason of giving it in combination?

Hi hamendar ,
when i asked this question to my doctor she said NO to this combination ... i think reasons that sahil, Manal and other members provided are enough ...

Take care

Hi Zizo,

I am not sure from where you can get this med,but i think looking for the company Novartis it self must be helpful,as they are the manufacturers and providers of this med,we go to Aga khan hospital for transfusion,so if we need Asunra we'll have to ask our  doc,if you don't find any link,inform me,i'll ask my doctor when we go for next transfusion.

You are warmly welcome  :hugfriend.

Here it's Exjade.
I dont tell you how much my pills costs. It made so angry. I hope the economic problems have a good effect on the price of Exjade.
Ok, with 2 pills of 125mg you can buy a new cd.

Hi Zizo,

I'll definoitely ask my doctor,but you'll have to wait till mid of november coz that's when my daughter will go for transfusion.

Dore,

Exjade is marketed by the name of Asunra here,and it's price is lower then exjade,accordin g to Novartis they are doing a favour for third world countries,but to tell you the truth it's still not affordable for so many people.
