What happens if you miss a dose of Anagrelide?
Last updated September 7, 2026.
**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
- **Check your schedule:** Take the missed dose when you remember unless your next dose is almost due.
- **Avoid doubling:** Skip a dose that is too close to your next one and resume your usual schedule.
- **Ask your pharmacist:** Confirm dose timing if you are unsure whether to take or skip your missed dose.
- **Contact your prescriber:** Report several missed doses or trouble continuing treatment so you can get a plan.
- **Set reminders:** Use phone alarms to help you remember each scheduled dose.
