What blood tests need to be monitored when I take Zavesca?
No blood tests are required to take Zavesca. However, your doctor may want to monitor your type 1 Gaucher disease activity by taking blood samples regularly to determine your levels of hemoglobin, platelet counts, and important disease markers. Your doctor will let you know how often to have these blood tests. Your doctor may also measure the size of your liver and spleen with physical examinations and radiological tests.
