Deferiprone (DFP) is an oral iron-chelating agent that is widely used in thalassemia patients with iron overload. This study aimed to investigate the long-term efficacy of DFP monotherapy on serum ferritin (SF) and adverse events. All thalassemia patients aged 15 years or older who received DFP monotherapy were identified from the thalassemia registry database between November 2008 and October 2019.
