Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Anagrelide A Safe Medicine For Essential Thrombocythemia?
I have post ET MF. I was diagnosed ET in 1998 and prescribed anagrilide. In 2004 I was diagnosed with MF and have still been on the Anagrelide since then. Someone in the Myelofibrosis Support Group told me that they don t even prescribe Anagrelide anymore, that it can be bad for you. None of my doctors have ever said anything about me taking it all this time. Should I be concerned?
* The anagrelide is best drug recommended for the purpose of controlling essential thrombocythemia via inhibition of production of platelets.
* The information to you sounds to be fake from some group person.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
