Dear Martin,
I asked a question a while ago about my medication when I leave for Thailand in October. Since last month I have to take an additional medication that is only available here in Belgium in the pharmacy of the hospital, namely Atrmia 0,5 mg.
I take Atremia 0,5mg to reduce my platelets. Before that happened because of Hydrea, but due to an increased dose I got anemia. The dose of Hydrea is reduced again and Atremia is added.
Is this available in Thailand or is there an alternative?
Regards,
L.
*****
Purchase,
Atremia (Anagrelide) is sold in Thailand under the name Agrylin according to my records. Probably only available in hospital.
In any case, bring a supply, in case it is not available.
Sincerely,
Dr. Maarten
