0.5mg Capsules $30 per 100

Anagrelide is used to lower platelet levels in people with essential thrombocythemia. It does this by stopping the growth of certain cells called megakaryocytes. The drug comes in 0.5 mg capsules, with a recommended dosing of 0.5 mg taken four times daily and may be adjusted as needed.

You get 100 little pills in each bottle. The pills have anagrelide hydrochloride monohydrate in them, and you take them by mouth. There’s some important safety stuff you need to know like risks like anemia, blood clots, and low white cell counts.

You need to be checked out often, like checking your blood for platelets, hemoglobin, and white blood cell counts. Anagrelide works by stopping the production of thrombopoietin, which then causes fewer platelets and megakaryocytes to form. It takes a while to kick in, like a few weeks, and it’s strongest after that.

The anagrelide capsule formulation ensures a consistent and controlled release of the medication throughout the day, facilitating adherence to the dosing schedule.
