Indication & Dosage: Defera (Deferiprone), generic FERRIPROX is a prescription medicine used to treat certain blood disorders, such as thalassemia and sickle cell anemia, who accumulate excess iron due to repeated blood transfusions.

Deferiprone is typically used when other iron-removal treatments are ineffective or poorly tolerated, helping to reduce high iron levels. Deferiprone binds to excess iron, facilitating its excretion through urine. Defera manufactured by Jenphar Pharma Ltd. in Bangladesh.
