WHAT ANAGRELIDE VIATRIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Anagrelide Viatris contains the active substance, anagrelide.
Anagrelide is a medicine which interferes
with the development of platelets. It reduces the number of platelets
produced by the bone marrow,
which results in a decrease in the platelet count in the blood towards
a more normal level. For this
reason, it is used to treat patients with essential thrombocythaemia.
Essential thrombocythaemia is a condition which occurs when the bone
marrow produces too many of
the blood cells known as platelets. Large numbers of platelets in the
blood can cause serious problems
with blood circulation and clotting.
