Treatment of intermediate- or high-risk myelofibrosis in adults with anemia
This medication is used to treat intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis in adults with anemia. This includes primary myelofibrosis, myelofibrosis after polycythemia vera, and myelofibrosis after essential thrombocythemia. These conditions are diseases that affect bone marrow function due to problems in blood cell production, and this medication helps alleviate symptoms and suppress disease progression. Patients can expect improvements in anemia and quality of life through this treatment. Thus, this medication is effective for the treatment of myelofibrosis.
