I would recommend anyone on hydroxyurea to look into Besremi. It has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of myelofibrosis, which can occur in 20-30 percent of people with MPN's like PV or ET 10-12 years after diagnosis.
You can go online and read about the benefits of taking Besremi at besremi.com. There is a phone number on the website to call PharmaEssentia to apply for financial assistance to pay for Besremi. PharmaEssentia can help coordinate the pre-authorization process with your insurance provider.
I am taking hydroxyurea and asked my doctor to consider putting me on Besremi because with my severity of PV I have a higher risk of blood clots and myelofibrosis. I hope to hear from PharmaEssentia this week.
