How can you use “desferrioxamine” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Despite the fact that compliance is improved on deferiprone, this highlights the dangers of assuming that this drug, with potential toxicity greater than that of desferrioxamine, should be implemented in patients struggling with desferrioxamine, as proposed by some clinicians.
The literature on desferrioxamine and deferiprone lacks consensus on their comparative effectiveness and even on the methods for its quantification.
The National Library of Medicine's computerized bibliographic database (Medline 1966 to December 1999) was searched using a combination of the following keywords: thalassemia, serum ferritin, urinary iron excretion, hepatic iron, liver, chelation therapy, iron chelation, iron chelating agents, desferal, desferrioxamine, deferoxamine, L1 oral chelate, deferiprone and 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyrid-4-one.
Finally, as several of the patients included in the deferiprone studies had previously failed desferrioxamine treatment, due to non-compliance or other reasons, it could be postulated that they are more likely to do badly on deferiprone as well.
Indeed, the analyses indicate that desferrioxamine not only increases the likelihood of lowering hepatic iron load, but also tends to induce larger reductions in hepatic iron among responders, even after controlling for the imbalance in HIC at study initiation.
