Vidaza and valproic acid

Hi Chirley,
Good that you don't have any nausea !

You know low counts are really an adverse effect of Vidaza and does not indicate that you will have a positive effect of the drug but of cause we hope that the result will be OK.

Valproic acid often makes the patients very tired (called somnolence) http://www.rxlist.com/depakene-drug.htm.

The combination of Vidaza and valproic acid has showed good results in treating several types of cancer. I can’t find a study on patients with low risk MDS.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
