How much does a bottle of Anagrelide cost?

Anagrelide (Anagrelide) is an antiplatelet drug commonly used to treat thrombocythemia (Thrombocythemia), especially essential thrombocythemia (Primary Thrombocythemia).

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 mainland China, there are the Hong Kong version of the original drug and the foreign Turkish original drug. The price is around 1280 yuan.

Anagrelide reduces platelet production by inhibiting the growth and differentiation of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. It blocks the phosphonucleic acid (cAMP) degrading enzyme phosphonucleic acid phosphodiesterase III type (PDE III) to increase intracellular cAMP levels, thereby inhibiting the growth and maturation of platelets.

Anagrelide is primarily used to treat essential thrombocythemia, a bone marrow disorder characterized by an abnormally high number of platelets in the blood. Essential thrombocythemia can lead to an increased risk of blood clots and bleeding, so anagrelide works to reduce these risks by controlling platelet counts.

During use of anagrelide, platelet counts and complete blood counts should be monitored closely to assess treatment efficacy and monitor for potential side effects. Common side effects include headache, tachycardia, nausea, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Serious side effects are relatively rare but may include heart valve disease, arrhythmias, and low platelets. If you have any discomfort or questions, please inform your doctor immediately.
