Comparison between desferrioxamine and combined therapy with desferrioxamine and deferiprone in iron overloaded thalassaemia patients
Summary. Desferrioxamine (DFX) alone (40–50 mg/kg/d s.c. over 8–12 h, five times weekly) was compared with combined DFX twice weekly and deferiprone (75 mg/kg/d) over 12 months in previously poorly chelated thalassaemia patients. Serum ferritin fell from 5506 ± 635 µg/l (mean ± SEM) to 3998 ± 604 µg...
