Hello welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
Essential thrombocytosis is myeloproliferative neoplasm. To bring down platelet count low and to prevent thrombosis secondary to it hydroxyurea and angrelide is useful. So after your HB level comes to normal you should take both these medication to treat your neoplasm.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
