over dose of ferriprox

Hi buddies ,
something bad happened , i took two doses of ferriprox with the gap of 2 hour. it just  happened to me , i had taken night's dose of ferriprox and then after 2 hours i had to take another medicine but at that time when i was had to take another mediicine i mistakenly took ferriprox again , now its 6 tablets in night's dose ... any precautions to take ,any sugestioon ?? ... i m a little worried abt wat happened to me ... i red the leaflet of ferriprox and found that there is no study for over dosage .. thats why i m worried .... should i go for sleep or have to stay awake to take precautions if anything happened ....?

If there is no immediate reaction you will have no problem as deferiprone is eliminated from the body within 6-8 hours after taking it. I will say please be careful with all drugs. I have had a bad experience accidentally taking two tabs of thyroxine in one day but again, it passed and I was fine.

thanx Andy  ,
i didn't felt anything yet , its 1 hour passed ( 1 hour to 2nd dose ) and its 3 hour to 1st dose . didn't feel anything , may i sleep now or i have to still awake for few more hours ....

Umair

Sleep. If you are on the dose of 75 mg/kg it is already below the known safe dose of 100 mg/kg. I really don't think one time will make any difference.

Hey Umair,

In your other topic you talked about not able to walk do your hurting knees? That is the reason why I quitted with ferriprox. I could not walk at all, I could only stumble. I hope you feel okidoki now.

My uncles call's me Professor bcoze of my habbit to not open my collar's button but then i leave this habbit as all my relative insist's for that .... but now there is another reason here , i m bad at memory .....
i hope it will never happen again but ..... who can promise that it will never happen again ??, at-least me not , one of my thalpal said dont try to kill your self ... :S after a very hard time i found succes to tell him to assure him that it wasn't wat he is thinking it was by chance by mistake ... :scratchinghead

Hi Dore ,
Thank you for concerning abt me .....
i forgot to answer your question about qiting to Ferriprox here it is :
whether i was unable to walk bcoze of knee aches , but its not enough to quiting to a very beneficial drug/medicine like Ferriprox .. thats why i used to pass that time when ever i got ache in my knees .... that is the reason why i m not gonna quit to Feriprox until my doctor prescript me another drug for chelation like deferasirox ...  yeah by the Grace of God i m feeling okidoki n ope that you are feeling the same ( super fine ) ... r u taking any other chelator ?? . as for i know you are on Exjade now a days .... wat abt you ?? .. .did Exjade suit you ??

another mistake that took place a few hours ago , i took 2nd dose of Ferriiprox of the day , and forget to tick mark on my chart ....... but soon i got  remember and i marked that , shuh

Hey,

The other last saturday (I am bad in dates) I decided to increased the dose of Exjade to 1250mg. The problems became at sunday. I felt so ill and my concentration was so bad that i decided that it was better to quit with it for 54hours plus the rest of the tuesday. I had an exam at thursday. The way back home was terrible, because the public transport was one mess. So I bought something to eat to survive the trip to home. Actually that saved my stomach. I did not feel nausea after I started with Exjade. I also eat at friday and saturday a few pieces of bread. Today I was too lazy to make some bread but i felt great. Saturday 14th Feb I will increased the dosage to 1375mg. My target is 1500mg. First I wanted to go to 1875mg, but I dont think I will try to get so high.
Actually, I told my niece Mirjam that I will take her out for dinner to my favo arabic beanery so soon as my fe drops under the 2000.
And so soon as the better become a lil warmer I will restart my daily walks in the city. I really dislike it, but I must follow my own orders. I also make a new scheme for the new semester which starts tomorrow. I will have 1 lesson at monday, wednesday and thursday. So wednesday morning i can give the blood for transfusion and friday i got all day to spend at the hospital and traffic-jam LOL. Btw in 2009 pay now €1 for 20min parking of the hospital!!!! I spend 4hours of such friday there so....I think I have no other choice than travelling by train with the student card.

Umair, I need such special medical box. Most of the days I forgot my supplement, but I will take them no. I must confess that I really hate the b-complex; terrible taste.  * *

Hi Dore ,
Your idea of making schedule of a whole week is superb ,  you may add an alarm on your mobile to remind you abt your medicine as well ... and about B-complex dont go on taste just see the wat is good for you .... taste will last for a few minutes after that it will not disturb you but the defffieciency will disturb you in long run and for long time ... soo dont go for taste , i my self  eat bitter gourd many times and drank bitter gourd's water that is too bitter to drink , but i drank bcoze someone told me that is good for diabetes ... in my case taste doesn't matter if anything is good for me i will close my noose and finish that in one sip .... sooo ...  welll , when i had 14 days gap between 2 transfussions i had a schedule to go for tx on Tuesday and wednesday as well ... but now days are shuffling everytime as i go for tx after every 12 day ... you can download icalendar  to internet to plan or schedule your tx date as i did ... well take care

Best Regards
Umair
