What does it do?

Deferasirox is a chelator that binds to iron and removes excess iron that has accumulated in the body. It is primarily used to treat iron overload conditions and is used to reduce iron accumulation in patients with blood disorders.

Deferasirox helps bind free iron in the blood and facilitates its excretion from the body. This prevents excess iron from accumulating in tissues and reduces damage caused by iron overload.
