The therapy of iron poisoning requires different kinds of treatment. Gastric lavages and chelation therapy are routinely recommended in the management of the poisoned patient. It is always the best to use selective chelators that bind the excess iron in tissues. The most popular chelator is deferoxamine (DFO). It is used in parenteral therapy and brings relatively good results. Unfortunately, therapy with DFO also causes many adverse effects. Thus, many research institutes have concentrated on inventing new chelator-drugs. Consequently, there are currently some new medicines which give hope for better therapy of iron intoxication, e.g. NaHBED, ICL670. Besides specific treatment, it is always important to introduce a supportive therapy that corresponds to current symptoms.
