  • Title: Deferoxamine treatment during early pregnancy: absence of teratogenicity in two cases.
    Author: Vaskaridou E, Konstantopoulos K, Kyriakou D, Loukopoulos D.
    Journal: Haematologica; 1993; 78(3):183-4. PubMed ID: 8375749.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of transfusion-dependent thalassemia treated by deferoxamine during the first trimesters of two successful pregnancies. The absence of any sign(s) of toxicity or teratogenicity is remarkable; despite the data from animal models, it seems that deferoxamine in humans is rather harmless for the fetus at the usually recommended doses.
