Avatar f tn I had a blood test yesterday and results show a WBC of 2.9 and also low neutrophils of .60 (meaning I have moderate neutropenia). All other values are within range. I had a blood test done a year ago and everything was good then (WBC of 5.6). I don't have a fever or additional symptoms and don't think I have a virus. I have as few questions: 1. Could this be a normal swing in my WBC, is it fairly common for healthy people to drop low and bounce back up? 2.
1363928 tn?1285081663 I heard that neutropenia is not associated with increased risk of infection during Hep C treatment. Has anybody got any more info on this? My treatment coordinator said they can add neupogen, but that there were study results that indicated that low WBC and neutrophils that occurred during tx did not cause infection. If that's true, why prescribe the neupogen? Thanks for your input!
Avatar n tn Are you currently on any medication like imatinib? The neutropenia can be due to your current medication. You can ask your hematologist for G-CSF injection if you have persistent neutropenia. Patients with CML are immunocompromised and can easily acquire infections. Neutropenia also puts a patient in an immunocompromised state. For now, it is very important to prevent acquiring any infection. You should avoid crowded places and persons with ongoing infection. Good luck.
Avatar f tn ve been paranoid ever since I learned that Ranitidine had been recalled due to a link to cancer. Is a 2 month dose of Ranitidine something to worry about?

Avatar n tn A few years ago my doctor put me on 75 mg Ranitidine to take twice a day before meals. A couple years ago he also put me on 20 mg Omeprazole to take once a day for 14 days, after which he said I could start taking the Ranitidine again if i still had the heartburn.
1253246 tn?1332073310 When I read about this a while back, the summary I remember is that while interferon alone can reduce your neutrophil count, it is typically not responsible for neutropenia. The effect of ribavirin is more prone to cause neutropenia but taking them together increases the risk significantly. I am not sure how boceprevir would enter into this equation since I'm ignorant about the drug.
520191 tn?1355635402 Over a year ago i was given ranitidine for the treatment of GERD. I took my first dose and i started to feel nausea so i went to bed, during the night i started vomiting and not like any vomit i had ever experienced before. i thought nothing of it, until my heart began to race through out the night. the next morning i thought i might be allergic to one of my medication as i was prescribed 2 medication all at once.
Avatar f tn re considering an interferon dose reduction?? If neutropenia, the following applies to Inf/Riba, not the PIs. Neutropenia frequently complicates IFN-based antiviral therapy for hepatitis C [14]. The relationship between neutropenia and infectious complications in this instance is not well described.
Avatar f tn Hello all, I'm not sure if everyone is familiar with my story but I have neutropenia and graves disease. I need to get my wisdom tooth extracted because I have avoided it long enough. When I first tried to get my wisdom pulled the dental surgeon realized that my wisdom tooth was in my nerve and that i would suffer damage if pulled. I was told to prolong it as much as I could however, I get horrible migraines (I've suffered from migraines since 13) and I need my tooth taken out.
Avatar f tn Some studies have linked EBV with Hashimoto's, but there's nothing conclusive. Some doctors have felt that Fibromyalgia is, basically, un or under-treated hypothyroidism, since Fibro and hypothyroidism share many symptoms and many/most of the symptoms go away if the patient is treated adequately with thyroid hormones.
15695260 tn?1549593113 Choices for a generic over the counter antacid just got smaller as the drug maker of generic ranitidine under the brand name of Zantac has pulled distribution of the medication world wide. Last week the FDA stated they found cancer causing chemicals in some samples taken from batches of generic rantitidine or Zantac. https://www.fda.
2006603 tn?1331329327 Anyone use ranitidine while pregnant? I am 33w4d and yesterday my doc prescribed me 150mg tablets to take twice a day for heartburn. Anyone use ranitidine while pregnant? I just want to make sure its safe.
Avatar m tn In order to treat Acid Reflux/GERD I have been taking Ranitidine/Zantac per doctors advice. I started developing various side effects several months ago. To verify the side effects were caused by the ranitidine I would stop for a few weeks and use TUMS instead. I repeated this cycle several times. The symptoms would go away each time I was off the ranitidine for a week or so.
Avatar f tn My 17 month old son just had 2nd blood test come back with low neutrophils and high lymphocytes. The doctor said something about neutropenia? Should i be worried or is this just sign of a virus?
Avatar n tn Normal banded neutrophil count is 1,500 cells per microliter. A count between 500-1000, is a grade 3 risk of neutropenia, or low neutrophil count, with risk for infection. Actually on the first day of fever and even for a day or two, initially when there is an infection, there is slight neutropenia. Then the body fights the infection and the neutrophils rise and by day five of fever most blood pictures will show increased neutrophil count.
Avatar f tn Zantac or the generic ranitidine, my Dr gave me the ok on Monday because everything I eat gives me bad heartburn
Avatar f tn Did I develop neutropenia from the Graves disease and how do I stop the neutropenia from getting worse? Also, what are some things that I should avoid as a result of my neutropenia? In addition, my heart rate ranges from 120-140 and I feel very tired and confused. Are these feelings a result of my heart rate? Thank you in advance.
