Epival
Many thanks Birgitta A for the info.
I was interested in this drug as a possible treatment to ask my doctor about. The Annals of Hemotology article indicates that Valporic Acid has been used successfully with multilineage dysplasia. (At least I think that is what it said.) However, one drug report I read today said that this drug "could change the time it takes blood to clot and may increase chance of bleeding". Another also mentioned the negative effect on clotting. This would not be a problem for Lynn as her platelets have not been affected. But since my platelets are already in the lower 20's, would this treatment be viable? Would the platelets come back up after treatment is stopped? I really don't expect any of you to actually know all the answers, but am just kicking around the questions?
