What happens during the disease - drug-induced aplastic anaemia
Drug-induced aplastic anaemia is caused by the suppression of the bone marrow's ability to produce new blood cells, which is caused by the direct toxic effect of a drug on the stem cells responsible for producing the new cells. this leads to a decrease in the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, resulting in anaemia, increased risk of infection, and increased risk of bleeding.
Drug-induced aplastic anaemia - Prevention
Drug-induced aplastic anaemia can be prevented by avoiding the use of drugs known to cause aplastic anaemia, such as anticonvulsants, antibiotics, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. patients should also be monitored for early signs and symptoms of the condition and seek medical advice if any are present.
