I have PV, having fortnightly phlebotomy's and are taking 1000mg hydroxyurea daily. I have been taking HU for 3 weeks now, but my hematocrit levels are still at 61%. How long would you expect it to take to start decreasing your levels? I guess it is a bit of an open ended question, but what have others experienced out there, to give me an idea. Much appreciated.
