THALASSEMIA CURE

The treatment for thalassemia depends on the type and severity of disease involved. Your doctor will give you a course of treatment that is customized to your particular case.
In general, treatments you may receive include: blood transfusions bone marrow transplant medications and supplements possible surgery to remove the spleen and/or gallbladder You may be instructed not to take vitamins or supplements containing iron. This is especially true if you require blood transfusions. People who receive blood transfusions receive extra iron that the body can’t easily get rid of and iron can accumulate in tissues, which can be potentially fatal. If you are receiving a blood transfusion, you may also need chelation therapy, which generally involves receiving an injection of a chemical that binds with iron (and other heavy metals). This helps remove extra iron from your body.
