Usual Adult Dose for Hemosiderosis:
Initial Dose: 20 mg/kg once a day
Doses should be rounded to the nearest whole tablet.
Usual range: 20 to 30 mg/kg/day
Deferasirox should be taken on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before food and preferably at the same time each day.
Tablets should not be chewed or swallowed whole. Tablets should be completely dispersed by stirring in water, orange juice, or apple juice until a fine suspension is obtained. Doses less than 1,000 mg should be dispensed in 3.5 ounces of liquid and doses greater than 1,000 mg should be dispensed in seven ounce of liquid.
After initial therapy, serum ferritin should be monitored every month and the dose of deferasirox should be adjusted if necessary every three to six months based on serum ferritin trends. Dose adjustments should be made in steps of 5 or 10 mg/kg according to the individual patient's response and therapeutic goals (maintenance or reduction of body iron burden). If serum ferritin falls consistently below 500 mcg/L, consideration should be given to temporary interruption of deferasirox therapy.
Because there is limited experience with doses above 30 mg/kg, doses should not exceed 30 mg/kg.
