My friend's Kid is a Thalassemia major patient. He is 6 year old. Before 4 years old, he was on Desferal, he's iron level was about 2000. When he was 5, he used Exjade, iron was 700, but he experienced gastrorrhagia (bleeding from stomach), he is on Desferal now, and still iron level back to 2000.
My friend think, Exjade + Desferal is more suitable for her boy.
One of the reason he is on Desferal is money, he spent USD200 every for desferal. In China, there is a program, if you buy 3 month of Exjade, you can get the rest of 9 month Exjade for free, that is how she can afford that medicine. But you must only use Exjade, use enough doesage. With this program, she spent about $600USD per month, otherwise, it would be $2200 every month for a 6 year old.
If she use half Exjade ,still $1100, there is no way she can afford that.
So She want buy some cheep medicine from Indian, because we all heard medicine in Indian much cheaper.
Is it easy for her to get medicine from Indian, and how much will it cost?
God bless that boy, he is so cute, and he still don't understand what is going on, why he should get injection every night.
