Has Anyone Taking Jakafi Had Their Numbers Come Down Enough So As To Lower The Dosage? Did A Lower Dose Lessen The Side Effects?
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

My husband, 4-5 months on Jakafi, is frustrated with the side effects. We thought he would adjust but that hasn’t happened. His numbers have come down to normal range, even below normal on the HCT. He thinks his Jakafi dose needs adjustment. He’s currently on 20mg twice a day. Has anyone lowered their dose and had fewer side effects as a result?
