Deferiprone: What It Is, How And When It Is Taken

To perform its action, deferiprone must be administered orally; in fact, it is available in medicinal products in the form of tablets or oral solution.

These medicines can be dispensed only upon presentation of a non-repeatable restrictive medical prescription or RNRL (drugs that can be sold to the public only on prescription from hospitals or specialists). Being classified as class A drugs, their cost can be reimbursed by the National Health System (NHS).
