Who Has Tried Weaning Off Hydrea

going to wean off hydrea to obtain 400 or less platelet levels before going off of it.
taking 500mg 2x weekly. Dr. say take l cap and 2cap every other day. Present plt level is 570. Research I came up with quote to increase extra capsules for one day a week .eg.., (2) caps 6 days &, 3caps 1 day, that hydrea works on a weekly basis rather than daily dose. Researched,support groups, peer reviews, no answers,

Appreciate any informations or eads

Hi adail, How are you?

I don't have experience with this medication personally, but in my opinion it would probably be best to just go along with what your doctor suggests as far as tapering is concerned. This is because each individual may respond differently to certain weaning methods.

However, if the information you're finding online contradicts what the doctor thinks might be best for you, I'd probably sit down with him and have him explain in further detail his reasoning behind taking a certain approach over what may be more common in other patients who are weaning off Hydrea.

I hope this helps!
