How should I take deferoxamine?

Use this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not use the medication in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the instructions on your prescription label.

Deferoxamine is sometimes given as an injection through a needle placed into a vein. You will receive this injection in a clinic or hospital setting. The medicine must be given slowly through an IV infusion, and may be given for several hours in a row.

Deferoxamine is also sometimes injected into a muscle using an infusion pump over several hours. Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will set up the infusion pump. You may be given instructions on how to use the pump at home. Do not use this medicine at home if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of needles, syringes, and other equipment used in giving the medicine.

Deferoxamine must be mixed with a liquid (diluent) before injecting it. The mixed solution should be clear with a colorless or slightly yellow appearance.

Do not use the medication if it has changed colors or has any particles in it. Call your doctor for a new prescription.

It is best to use deferoxamine within 3 hours after mixing it, but you must use it within 24 hours. Throw away the medicine if it has been longer than 24 hours since it was mixed with the liquid.

Each dose of this medication is for a single use only. Throw away any mixed medicine that is leftover after giving the injection.

Use each needle and syringe only one time. Throw away used needles and syringes in a puncture-proof container. If your medicine does not come with such a container, ask your pharmacist where you can get one. Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets. Your pharmacist can tell you how to properly dispose of the container.

Store unmixed deferoxamine at room temperature. You may store mixed medicine at room temperature for up to 24 hours, but do not refrigerate it. Your doctor may tell you to take vitamin C supplements while you are using deferoxamine. Take only the amount of vitamin C your doctor has prescribed. Using too much vitamin C while you are using deferoxamine can cause heart problems.

If a child is using deferoxamine, a doctor should check the child"s growth every 3 months. Do not miss any scheduled visits to your child"s doctor.

If you need to have any type of x-ray or CT scan using a dye that is injected into a vein, you may need to temporarily stop using deferoxamine. Be sure the doctor knows ahead of time that you are using this medication.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since deferoxamine is most often used only when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are using the medication regularly, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and use the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.

Symptoms of a deferoxamine overdose may include slow or fast heart rate, nausea or stomach discomfort, headache, problems with speech or vision, pale skin, feeling drowsy or agitated, urinating less than usual, feeling light-headed, fainting, or coma.
