Is anyone who is knowledgeable know if taking Hydroxycarbamide over 10 years is one of the medications that can cause lupus anticoagulant?

I’ve read that certain medications can cause this but don’t know if HU is one of them.

Alsi, do all of the drugs used for ET cause wbc to drop below button of range?

I have never seen this question asked. I have no answer. Have you researched it online?

I only take Hydroxyurea 4 days a week and my WBC remain stable.
