DELHI (info provided by TAS & Thalasseamics India - VikasKapoor)
However, the way the drug is dispensed - it is important that all patient register themselves through Registration Forms that are available at Sir Gangaram hospital and at Apollo hospital with Dr. Amita Mahajan.
5. Those in NCR - Delhi - For more information contact the Thalassemics India office at 24352871 and 41827334.
PUNE (info provided by Ashutosh Thoakar)
6. In Pune, patients are required to contact their respective thalassemia-hematologist who are authorised to write prescriptions for this new drug.
MUMBAI (info provided by MumbaiThalS - Supratim Basu)
7. In Mumbai, as well Exjade, will not be available through the pharmacies.
Novartis will make prescription forms available to the doctors at the Transfusion Centres and to Haematologists treating thalassaemics. A Thal patient can get the prescription form filled and signed by his/her doctor and then courier this to Novartis' distribution centre in Mahim. The address is apparently mentioned on the back of the form. Then, Novartis will courier the drug to the home of the Thal patient and the patient will pay the money to the courier.
So, you need to contact Transfusion Centres and to Haematologists treating thalassaemics in Mumbai.
