Short answer What to do after a missed dose of anagrelide Common questions Related questions Sources**If you miss anagrelide, take your dose when you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose, and never double up.**
If your next dose is almost due, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. The timing depends on your prescribed schedule, so ask your pharmacist if you are unsure how close is too close. Interrupting treatment can let your platelet count rise, typically beginning within four days of stopping, but this does not predict what happens after one missed dose. Contact your prescriber if you miss several doses, and use reminders to help you stay on schedule.
What to do after a missed dose of anagrelide
Common questions
What happens if you miss a dose of Anagrelide?
If you miss a dose of anagrelide, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. If it is, skip the missed dose and follow your usual schedule. Never take a double dose to catch up. Anagrelide lowers your platelet count; interrupting treatment can allow it to rise, typically within four days of stopping. That timing does not tell you what one missed dose will do. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure about dose timing. Contact your prescriber if you miss several doses or cannot keep taking your medicine, since you may need blood tests.
