- The medicine contains the active substance anagrelide. The drug is a medicine that interferes with the development of platelets. It reduces the number of platelets produced in the bone marrow and thus reduces the number of platelets circulating in the blood to normal level. For this reason, the drug is used to treat patients with essential thrombocythemia.
- Essential thrombocythemia – is a bone marrow disease in which too many platelets (platelets) are produced. An increase in the number of these platelets in the blood can lead to serious problems with circulation and blood clotting.
