EPO + Neupogen + Dacogen

Hi kishore,
You know EPO and Neupogen work well together - sometimes patients who havn't had any response when they are treated with EPO alone have a good response when treated with the two drugs .

Many patients who start with Dacogen get lower counts before they respond and they are often treated with EPO and Neupogen.

Now you will have to look out for bleedings due to low platelets. There are drugs coming for low platelets and one member of Marrowforums is getting that kind of drug - Promacta - but I don't know if it is approved in India. In the US it is only approved for a bleeding disease (ITP) but I hope to be able to get it "off label" in Sweden if my platelets (last count 32) get lower.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
