Looking for a deferasirox coupon? Deferasirox is the generic form of Jadenu and Exjade, an oral iron chelator used to remove excess iron from the body caused by repeated blood transfusions or certain thalassemia syndromes. Because it is available as a generic, the cash price is often much lower than the brand — but prices still vary widely from one pharmacy to the next. Enter your ZIP above to see today's deferasirox price at pharmacies near you. Rx.com compares prices across more than 60,000 pharmacies so you can find the lowest cash price without insurance.
What is deferasirox and how does it work?
Deferasirox is an oral iron chelator (a chelating agent), meaning it binds to iron in the body so the iron can be removed. It is FDA-approved to treat chronic iron overload in two situations: (1) iron overload caused by repeated blood transfusions (transfusional iron overload) in patients 2 years and older, and (2) chronic iron overload in patients 10 years and older with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT) who have a liver iron concentration of at least 5 mg Fe/g dry weight and a serum ferritin greater than 300 mcg/L. Transfusional iron overload commonly develops in conditions such as thalassemia, sickle cell disease, and myelodysplastic syndromes.
The medicine works by attaching to iron so it can be excreted from the body in the stool. It is sold under the brand names Jadenu, Jadenu Sprinkle, and Exjade. Deferasirox is only used when a doctor has confirmed iron overload and is monitoring your care.
Deferasirox cost and coupon savings without insurance
Deferasirox is available as a generic, which typically costs far less than the brand-name versions Jadenu and Exjade. Even so, the cash price can differ substantially between pharmacies, so it pays to compare before you fill. With an Rx.com coupon there is no insurance required — you show the discount at the pharmacy and pay the cash price shown. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price at pharmacies near you.
If you use the brand-name product, the manufacturer of Jadenu (Novartis) offers patient support and financial resources on its official Jadenu website; eligibility and terms vary and these programs are separate from an Rx.com discount, so it is worth checking whichever option gives you the lower out-of-pocket cost.
Deferasirox vs. brand names and other iron chelators
Deferasirox is the same active ingredient found in Jadenu, Jadenu Sprinkle, and Exjade. The generic contains the identical medicine as these brands; the main difference is usually price. If your prescription is written for a brand, ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether the generic is appropriate for you.
Other medicines are also used to manage iron overload and work in different ways, including deferiprone (brand Ferriprox) and injectable deferoxamine. These are not interchangeable with deferasirox, and the right choice depends on your condition, other health issues, and your doctor's judgment.
Deferasirox safety and side effects
Deferasirox carries a boxed warning — the FDA's most serious warning — for three risks: kidney (renal) toxicity, including acute kidney injury and deaths, mostly in patients already very ill; liver (hepatic) toxicity, including liver failure and death; and gastrointestinal bleeding, which can be fatal, especially in elderly patients with advanced blood disorders or low platelet counts. Because of these risks, doctors check kidney function, liver function, and (in children) growth and weight before and during treatment.
Other serious risks include severe or fatal allergic reactions, serious skin reactions (such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and DRESS), low blood cell counts (cytopenias), and changes in vision (lens/cataract) or hearing. More common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and rash.
