Tag: Drug induced thrombocytosis

Secondary, or reactive, thrombocytosis accounts for over 85% of cases of elevated platelet counts, and medications can be a significant trigger [1.6.3, 1.6.7]. Understanding what drugs cause thrombocytosis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate patient management.

While relatively rare, drug-induced thrombocytosis, or a medication-caused high platelet count, is a documented adverse drug reaction. Understanding which medications affect high platelet count is crucial for both healthcare providers and patients, as it often causes a temporary condition that resolves after the medication is discontinued.
