Hydroxyurea “Holidays” – How Long Have You Paused?

After 5 months on Hydroxyurea, I suffered a gout attack and went 3 weeks off that med. Afterwards, there was a slight increase in platelet count, but not significant. I was then prescribed a daily low dose of Allopurinol (for gout) and resumed my normal schedule for Hydroxyurea (1000 mg M-W-F & 500 mg the other 4 days).
Hope this helps. Good Luck🤞

Interested in yr gout. I attended one of those ask-the-mpn-expert programs via Zoom. (Sponsored by MPN Advocacy and Education Int'l. They put video programs on YouTube.) One of the speakers mentioned that gout and other inflammatory issues seemed to be associated with ET, which has an inflammatory component. Did doc associate yr gout with the HU or ET?
