Anaemia and agranulocytosis associated with ticlopidine therapy

Acta Haematol. 1985;73(4):232-4. doi: 10.1159/000206335.

Abstract

Although ticlopidine has proven anti-aggregant properties, complications due to side-effects, particularly to the haemopoietic system, have been noted since it was recently launched on the market. We here report a case of bicytopenia (anaemia and granulocytopenia) associated with ticlopidine treatment.
