Anagrelide and herpes

[Tinkerbell13]

I was on hydroxyurea and had a bad case of herpes on my face. Now into about 5th week of anagrelide and now bad herpes on face. Taking aciclovir tabs but seems to be taking a while to clear. Has anyone else experienced herpes as a result of taking anagrelide and if so, any advice? Tinkerbell13

Hi Tinkerbell, sorry for the delay in responding to your question, I have asked Prof Harrison and she has said that she hasn't seen this, and maybe residual effect of HU? We would advise you to speak to your haematologist about it. Kind regards, Maz
