There are no tablets specifically designed to remove iron from the body. However, certain medications can help manage iron overload conditions like hemochromatosis.
-
Chelation Therapy: This treatment involves using medications called chelating agents, which bind to excess iron in the bloodstream and help remove it through urine. Some common chelating agents include deferoxamine (Desferal), deferasirox (Exjade), and deferiprone (Ferriprox).
-
Phlebotomy: This procedure involves removing blood from the body, which effectively reduces the amount of iron in the blood. It is often used in conjunction with chelation therapy.
It is crucial to consult a doctor to determine the best course of treatment for iron overload. Self-treating can be dangerous and potentially harmful.
