Deferiprone
An oral iron chelator used to treat iron overload in thalassemia patients when other chelation therapies are inadequate or not tolerated. It binds excess iron and removes it primarily through the urine. A potentially serious side effect is agranulocytosis, a dangerous drop in white blood cells, which requires regular blood count monitoring.
