Pathologist and Microbiologist, Dr. Shailja Puri's Response

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Low platelet count occurs due to reduced two main causes- decreased synthesis of platelets and increased destruction of platelets in blood or bone marrow.
Drugs can also damage the blood cells.
Since, you are taking certain drugs, there is a possibility that low platelet counts could be due to the drugs.
I suggest you to consult your physician for assessing low platelet counts.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
