ADR, adverse drug reaction.

Total of 977 patients with systemic iron overload were treated with deferiprone in clinical trials.

One patient had 2 events of severe IDIN, the event with ANC 0.18 × 109/L was counted in group 2, and the event with ANC 0 × 109/L was counted in group 3.

Events of severe IDIN in the postmarketing setting are defined as adverse drug reactions coded to agranulocytosis that had at least 1 ANC value.
