It's in your best interest to follow the Guidelines for N-Plate. Not doing so can be dangerous. Counts should actually be maintained around 50k and your doctor should be dosing you in that manner.

- ITP since 2014. Retired nurse. My belief is empower patients to be involved as much as possible in their care. Read, read, read & ALWAYS question medics about the evidence base they use.
