Summary
This study tests whether an oral drug called deferiprone can safely reduce harmful iron buildup in the brain after a bleeding aneurysm. About 66 adults who have had a ruptured aneurysm will receive either deferiprone plus standard care or standard care alone for 14 days. The goal is to see if lowering brain iron helps preserve memory and thinking skills.
