[The results of patients with essentials thrombocythemia and other myeloproliferation-related thrombocythemia--a report of patients treated with Thromboreductin].
The registry of patients treated with Thromboreductin (anagrelide) in the Czech Republic contains data concerning patients that have been treated using this drug since 2004. As of June 2009, the total number of patients was 549. The current analysis focused mainly on evaluation of anagrelide dosage needed to achieve a complete response in high-risk patients: reduction in platelet count to below 400 x 10(9)/l, which was also considered as reaching the therapeutic goal. The outcomes of the registry confirm that although anagrelide (Thromboreductin) is a very effective platelet-reducing agent, the administration of which is related to a low incidence of adverse effects and complications, the therapeutic goal is not achieved in all cases and or despite a quick treatment response, the therapeutic goal is achieved more slowly.
