I don't know what is in the anagrelide but it seems to have major side effects.
I know the instruction say to be careful handling the Drea but I have always just used my fingers to put it in my mouth with no issues. I'm glad it's bringing your numbers down.
One day you're body is producing normal platelets then suddenly its over producing . No one seems to know why...

There seems to be a correlation with chromosome mutation(s) one of which is referred to as JAK2. (I think i'm saying that right). I'm 78 and started noticing lab work issues with WBC, RBC, platelets, and hemo,.......next think i know i'm seeing an oncologist - what a rodeo.
