One of the most important ways to manage symptoms and treat essential thrombocythemia is to take recommended medication. Several different medicines may be recommended to treat the symptoms of and lessen the potential for complications from essential thrombocythemia. Low-dose acetylsalicylic acid is often recommended to reduce platelet levels and lower the risk of clotting. Medications that target the bone marrow to slow the production of blood cells and platelets may also be recommended. While some of the side effects may be difficult to endure, failing to take these medications can increase the risk of blood clots and lead to serious complications from the disease.
