Dacogen

My husband just started dacogen, Monday. Today is Wednesday this will be his 3rd treatment. He will also get 2 units of blood today. So far the only problem he has had is constipation. His counts Monday were hem. 8.6, red blood cell, 2.77, plat. 41, white blood count 1.7. He will be taking treatments for five days, off 3 weeks, then on a week for approx. 6 months. Has anyone been on the dacogen for several months? This is all "greek" to us, he was accidentally diganosed when he went in to have his heart regulated.
