Can I take Dexorange to increase my low platelet count?

Question

Hi doctor,

My platelet count is 138,000 to 150,000 platelets per microliter of blood. I need to increase my platelet count to at least 165,000 to 170,000 platelets per microliter of blood for some medical purpose. I am taking papaya leaf juice. Can I take Dexorange?

Kindly assist.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and can understand your concern.

I need to know for which purpose you have done a CBC (complete blood count) investigation. Kindly mention any clinical complaint if present for giving more comment, and also want to know how long your platelet count remains low? Or is this only for the first time? Platelet count should be at least 150,000 platelets per microliter of blood, and your platelet count is slightly low at 138,000 platelets per microliter of blood.

If you have no clinical complaint, then I do not think you have to investigate further. Papaya leaf extract syrup and papaya fruits can be taken to improve platelet count. A peripheral smear examination report can be done to check platelet morphology. Your other parameters are within the range.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
