Protect Yourself from Iron Overload

Even if you already have too much iron in your body, your doctor can prescribe treatment. This treatment is known as iron chelation therapy (pronounced kee-lay-shun). It works by helping your body get rid of extra iron. Getting treatment can help protect your body from damage and improve your health.

Iron overload can be prevented or treated. That’s why it’s important to talk to your doctor if you’ve ever had, or are going to have, red blood cell transfusions.
