polycythaemia vera

After 3 years of venesection I am about to start hydrosycarbamide tablets. Can anyone describe their experience with this type of medication please?

  • Welcome to the forum Rufus.

    Polycythaemia vera has been discussed by quite a few of our members on the forum and you can read more about their experiences here. Just click on the pink button under their posts to reply and hopefully they will be able to discuss this with you in more detail.

    I have also found some information about the tablets on our website which may be useful as it describes how the tablets work and provides a list of the possible side effects you may experience as well.

    I hope this helps.

    Do come back and let us know how you get on.

    All the best,
