Yes Work of Any drug in CML is to decrease white blood cells to normal level and sometimes the medicine (dasatinib) decreases platelet and hemoglobin also as a side effect. Dasatinib will be stopped forfew days to weeks and once the Platelet recovers to more than 75 it will be restarted. If again platelet come down then medicine will have to be changed to other TKI or dose of dasatinib will be reduced.
