A systematic review from 2016 found that metamizole significantly increased the relative risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, by a factor of 1.4–2.7 times. [31] A study by one of the manufacturers of the drug found the risk of agranulocytosis within the first week of treatment to be a 1.1 in a million, versus 5.9 in a million for diclofenac .
Agranulocytosis, also known as agranulosis or granulopenia, is an acute condition involving a severe and dangerous lowered white blood cell count (leukopenia, most commonly of neutrophils) and thus causing neutropenia in the circulating blood. [1]
The anticonvulsant drug, lamotrigine, has been associated with a decrease in white blood cell count. [2] The FDA monograph for metronidazole states that this medication can also cause leukopenia, and the prescriber information suggests a complete blood count, including differential cell count, before and after, in particular, high-dose therapy.

Autoimmune neutropenia (AIN) is a form of neutropenia which is most common in infants and young children [1] where the body identifies the neutrophils as enemies and makes antibodies to destroy them. Primary autoimmune neutropenia, another name for autoimmune neutropenia, is an autoimmune disease first reported in 1975 that primarily occurs in ...
Case reports of such incidents are reported with clozapine, [2] [3] risperidone, [4] and aripiprazole. [ 5 ] These case reports suggest that the observed cases of the morning pseudoneutropenia did not proceed to become agranulocytosis which is a significant and dangerous side effect of some of antipsychotics.
Now that his kids are over the age of 12 months (honey is not considered safe for children under 1), Woods says he's "a big fan of honey and honey-based products for respiratory issues for my kids."
[7] As a result, propylthiouracil is no longer recommended in non-pregnant adults and in children as the front line antithyroid medication. [8] One possible side effect is agranulocytosis, [9] a decrease of white blood cells in the blood. Symptoms and signs of agranulocytosis include infectious lesions of the throat, the gastrointestinal tract ...
SCN manifests in infancy with life-threatening bacterial infections. [2] It causes severe pyogenic infections. It can be caused by autosomal dominant inheritance of the ELANE gene, autosomal recessive inheritance of the HAX1 gene. There is an increased risk of leukemia and myelodysplastic cancers.
