What is Exjade?

Exjade is an oral iron chelator used to treat chronic iron overload caused by repeated blood transfusions in patients with conditions like thalassemia, sickle cell disease, myelodysplastic syndromes, and other anemias requiring regular transfusion therapy. Each unit of transfused blood adds iron that the body cannot excrete, and over time toxic iron accumulates in the liver, heart, and other organs. Exjade binds to iron in the bloodstream and tissues and carries it out of the body through urine and feces. It's dissolved in water or juice and taken once daily on an empty stomach.

Iron chelation and excretion

Exjade binds to free iron with high affinity and selectivity, forming stable complexes that are excreted primarily in the feces via bile and to a lesser degree in the urine—progressively reducing total body iron burden with daily use.

Organ protection from iron toxicity

Chronic iron overload damages the liver, heart, and endocrine organs through oxidative stress and direct cellular toxicity. By reducing iron stores, Exjade protects these organs from the progressive damage that untreated transfusional iron overload causes over time.

Once-daily oral convenience

Unlike older injectable chelators that required subcutaneous infusions over 8–12 hours, Exjade is taken as a once-daily dispersible tablet dissolved in liquid—dramatically improving patient convenience and adherence compared to infusion-based chelation therapy.
