My father needs 2units of blood transfusion every 2-3months. His hemoglobin before transfusion remains at around 7.1 . He is able to do his regular activity at 7.1 but the doctor is suggesting us to start with Dacogen. We are scared about these medicines and would want to know whether we continue with transfusions or go with what doctor is suggesting? I am not sure if the side effect of transfusions are worst than that of dacogen? What's the success rate of dacogen for low risk patients? Waiting for your suggestions.
