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.
