Description
Arefed 360mg is an essential pharmaceutical medication formulated to treat and manage chronic iron overload in the body. The active therapeutic ingredient in this medicine is Deferasirox, a highly effective oral iron-chelating agent.
Patients suffering from chronic blood disorders—such as Beta-Thalassemia, sickle cell disease, and other types of severe anemia—frequently require repeated blood transfusions. While these transfusions are lifesaving, they inevitably lead to an accumulation of excess iron over time. Because the human body lacks a natural mechanism to excrete excess iron, it deposits in vital organs like the liver and heart, leading to dangerous organ toxicity. Arefed 360mg works at a molecular level by binding directly to these excess iron ions, allowing them to be safely filtered and excreted from the body.
