The most common causes of morbidity and mortality is the predisposition of polycythemia vera patients to develop life threatening arterial (heart attacks, strokes, intestinal gangrene) and venous (thromboses of the portal and /or hepatic veins, pulmonary embolism) thromboses.
Expanded indication: treatment of patients with thrombocythemia, secondary to myeloproliferative disorders such as polycythemia vera (PV) and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), to reduce the elevated platelet count and the risk of thrombosis and to ameliorate associated symptoms.
