deferiprone and Siderosis

deferiprone has been researched along with Siderosis in 13 studies

Deferiprone: A pyridone derivative and iron chelator that is used in the treatment of IRON OVERLOAD in patients with THALASSEMIA.
deferiprone : A member of the class of 4-pyridones that is pyridin-4(1H)-one substituted at positions 1 and 2 by methyl groups and at position 3 by a hydroxy group. A lipid-soluble iron-chelator used for treatment of thalassaemia.

Siderosis: A form of pneumoconiosis resulting from inhalation of iron in the mining dust or welding fumes.
