Reduction through hydroxyurea treatment or angrelide is usually followed. Medications, do have side effects.
Now a days, for rapid reduction, platelet apheresis is followed. Depending on the facility available, appropriate management is possible.
Anti-coagulation, natural as discussed earlier can be used. Do watch your platelet count closely and try to maintain below 8 lakhs.
