Interferon leukocytes down to 2.3×10^9/L, it is recommended that regular monitoring of the blood routine is needed, a slight decrease can be treated with medication; serious reduction needs to be discontinued.
1. Mild reduction: that is, white blood cells in (3.0-3.5)x10^9/L, can take oral medication, such as Ricodin and shark liver alcohol and other drugs to promote the rise of white blood cells treatment.
2. Moderate reduction: that is, white blood cells in (2.0-3.0)x10^9/L, chronic hepatitis B patients or myelofibrosis patients with interferon injections, need to receive regular blood tests, if the reduction of 2.3×10^9/L, generally considered not too serious, belongs to the moderate reduction, can be applied to the recombinant human granulocyte stimulating factor for subcutaneous injections to promote the rise of white blood cells. The recombinant human granulocyte stimulating factor can be injected subcutaneously to promote the rise of white blood cells.
3. Severe lowering: that is, the white blood cells are lower than 2.0×10^9/L. If the white blood cells are lowered at the same time as the neutrophils are lowered to 0.5×10^9/L, the application of the drug needs to be stopped.
Adverse effects of interferon include fever, headache, malaise, as well as muscle aches and pains, and it is contraindicated in pregnant as well as lactating women.
The use of interferon carries certain risks and patients need to be guided by a specialist. In case of discomfort, medical attention should be sought.
