How much does a bottle of Anagrelide cost in Hong Kong?

Idiopathic thrombocythemia (ITP) is an immune-mediated thrombocytopenic bleeding disorder characterized by an elevated peripheral blood platelet count, resulting in bleeding tendencies. Anagrelide exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the production of platelets and promoting their breakdown.

Specifically, anagrelide controls platelet counts by inhibiting the production of platelets in the bone marrow and promoting their breakdown. It inhibits megakaryocyte differentiation and maturation, thereby reducing platelet production. At the same time, anagrelide can also promote the decomposition of platelets in the peripheral circulation and reduce the number of platelets.

Anagrelide is commonly used as an adjunctive therapy in patients with idiopathic thrombocythemia (ITP). It is considered a second-line drug and is often considered after failure or intolerance of first-line therapy.

Anagrelide is not yet on the market in China, so patients cannot purchase it domestically and need to purchase the drug through overseas channels. Anagrelide only has the original drug. Outside the mainland, there is the Hong Kong version of the original drug and the foreign Turkish original drug. The price is around 1280 yuan.

In summary, anagrelide is an antiplatelet drug used to treat adults with essential thrombocythemia (ITP). It helps control platelet counts and reduces bleeding tendencies by inhibiting the production of platelets and promoting their breakdown. Before use, follow your doctor's instructions and learn about side effects and safety information.
