Publication number: 20010007868Abstract: Methods and compositions of matter are provided that enable a phased reduction of body iron stores to near a iron deficiency level, and thereafter maintain the body iron stores at that level by reducing further iron accumulation. In a first phase, a patient's body iron stores are reduced to a level of near iron deficiency by regular periodic phlebotomy or use of pharmacological agents, such as iron chelators, for example, over a period of six to twelve months. In a second phase, ingested iron absorption is controlled using an oral dose, taken at mealtimes, of any of various compounds that inhibit intestinal iron absorption, or by continuing, less frequent phlebotomy.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 1999Publication date: July 12, 2001Inventor: FRANCESCO FACCHINI
