The recommended dose of Ferriprox is 75 mg/kg body weight. For a weight of 50 kg, this works out to 3750 mg daily (7 1/2 tabs) and it should be split up into 3 doses a day.

To determine the normal daily dose of L1, multiply your body weight in kilograms by 75 (mg). 100 mg/kg is the maximum safe daily dose and should only be taken when that dose is prescribed.

For example: 40 kg x 75 = 3000 mg/daily. Take 6 (500) mg tabs daily
                      50 kg x 75 = 3750 mg daily. Take 7 1/2 (500) mg tabs daily.
                      90 kg x 75 = 6750 mg/daily. Take 13 1/2 (500) mg tabs daily.

Only take under a doctor's supervision, with regular monitoring of white blood cells.

Hi Mariam,

Good luck with ferriprox  :goodluck As Andy said,keep an eye on your WBC count while taking Ferriprox,if you have flu like symptoms (fever,cough) and you think they last too long then usual,please check your WBC count right away.By the way,it's advised to check WBC count every 2 weeks when you start Ferriprox,and if the pattern remains the same you can check them every month.

I am sorry for being negative here....

But mariam your doctor should determine weather you should go on combination therapy..Not you!!!

Why did you stop Exjade for?

As Andy said you should get your WBC checked weekly, because using it wrong could cause your WBC to drop and you can become very ill...

I would strongly recommend you speak to your doctor before you decide to become your own doctor and start taking them, without his knowledge..

Hi Maryoom ,
GOOD LUCK  :goodluck ..
i m not gona say anything against or in favour of Ferriprox . bbut i want to mention here that Ferriprox is the Film coated Tablets soo dont break it in two pieces to get the mark of taking 7.5 pills a day... you should take 7 pills a day ...  but not to break .. bcoze film coating is used to release medicine slowly and it make's the mediiicine last long ... if  you will break it , it wil release very quickly and that could harm your digestive system ... .its my opinion  please do discuss about it , i dont think that i m wrong over it but for sure you may ask about the probleme i mentioned ,,... or andy , smurfette and anyone else , please correct me if i m wrong over it  ....

Take Care

LOOOOOOOOL Khalifa thank you so much,


thank you Andy for your help and thnx everyone for your concern but I was the first arabic thal to take ferriprox I'm the when Who bought it to kuwait back then any way I forgot how much dosage I was on as I stop takin it ages ago, I'm here now on desferal my white bloodcell counts are great actually my imune system is high I get a flu only once every winter and they only last a week (im guessing thats good)

Its ok ur concerned and I apreciate that but trust me Im not my own doctor :P my Mother is hahaha plus doctors kinda run in the family im the only business girl here

I stoped exjade because I've seen so many cases in kuwait that had liver problems and 7amdila  my liver is perfectly fine so is my kidney and I do not want to damage any of my organs plus my sin started to get pigmentation and honestly I dont want my looks to get spoiled call me crazzy but looks matter to me as well as health its all a reflection
