I just tried a drug Tavalise that blocks spleen receptors that destroy platelets. It did not work with platelets dropping 30 points each week. Anybody tried otc stem cell stimulation

Welcome to Connect, @endoman246. If you’re having an over production of platelets, your hematologist would be the best person to consult about the next step to take if the Tavalisse hasn’t worked as expected. Taking any over the counter supplements can be pretty iffy as they can cause side effects, drug interactions and other issues.

Were you diagnosed with Essential thrombycythemia? How long were you taking the Tavalisse? Has your doctor discussed other options with you?
