Consumer:Deferiprone and ferrous sulfate should not be taken orally at the same time. Products that contain aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, and/or other minerals may interfere with the absorption of deferiprone into the bloodstream and reduce its effectiveness. You should take these medications at least four hours apart. Talk to a healthcare professional if you are not sure whether a product contains something that could potentially interact with your medication or if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Deferiprone has the potential to bind polyvalent cations such as aluminum, iron and zinc, which may reduce its effectiveness. However, concurrent use with foods, mineral supplements, or antacids that contain polyvalent cations has not been studied.
MANAGEMENT: A minimum 4-hour interval is recommended between the administration of deferiprone and mineral supplements or oral medications that contain antacids (e.g., didanosine buffered tablets or pediatric oral solution) or other polyvalent cations.
