The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether L-glutamine can help lower pulmonary artery pressure in adults with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does L-glutamine reduce pulmonary artery pressure after 60 days of treatment? Is the effect of L-glutamine different from standard care alone? Researchers will compare two groups: Intervention group: Participants receive oral L-glutamine in addition to their standard treatment. Control group: Participants continue with standard treatment only. Participants will: Take either L-glutamine (by mouth) or standard care for 60 days. Undergo echocardiography at the beginning and end of the study to measure pulmonary artery pressure. Attend follow-up visits to monitor safety, adherence, and possible side effects.
