Yes, as soon as I stopped them my platelets shot up over 600 so back on I went. They are working great keeping my numbers down but will my hair stop falling out? I will have to take them for life so I guess I have to take it day by day. There’s only one other medication for PV and it’s pretty new. It’s extremely expensive and has different side effects. This one has been around for decades and my doctor really prefers patients stay on it if they can tolerate it. Keep us posted. Good luck!
