How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Exjade). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Exjade (deferasirox) is an orally active chelator that is selective for iron (as Fe 3+ ).

It is a tridentate ligand that binds iron with high affinity in a 2:1 ratio.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How it leaves the body

Deferasirox and metabolites are primarily (84% of the dose) excreted in the feces.

With food

The bioavailability (AUC) of deferasirox was variably increased when taken with a meal.
