HI again FG, great news, that`s certainly something to celebrate! This is powerful medicine you`re taking and it gets to work from Day 1!
Keep in touch and let us know how it`s going.

Hi Alan,
I have the same problem but my PLTs are low from the beginning because I was diagnosed with trombocitopenie. However I didn't expect that Harvoni can cause PLT go down. But, probably, it does.

Great, I expect you`ll find the weeks will fly by. How are you feeling so far, any side effects? I`m guessing by your user name you`re `feeling good`!

Hi Alan, welcome to the forum!
I wouldn`t worry about the fluctuations in your platelet levels, they do tend to go up and down during treatment. As you said, these numbers are well within the normal range and they aren`t fluctuating by much.
We have many of our members on Harvoni and I`m sure you`ll hear from other people soon. Do let us know when you get the rest of your results and best of luck!
By the way, how many weeks will you be doing?

I know the platelet count is in normal range but surprised to see it go down after 2 weeks - Has anyone had their blood work done two weeks after initial tx and if so what kind of differences did you see in your bloodwork?
thx

My platelets have been between 195-224 over the last three years ( pre tx 224 ) - Today after 2 weeks tx 184 - Any ideas? Other CBC with diff all ok.
