[split] Skilarence

While the above information is from the manufacturer, it seems strange to me that it's basically the same as Fumaderm and yet the common side effects differ greatly from my experience

Skilarence lists as common side effect as high total white cell count
Common side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):
- increase in all white blood cells (leukocytosis)
- increase in specific white blood cells called eosinophils

Whereas Fumaderm warns to watch the white cell count for dropping

Leukopenia ( reduction of white blood cells)  Treatment with FUMADERM must be discontinued immediately in the presence of a significant reduction in leukocyte count- particularly if values are below 3,000ul

Lymphopenia ( reduction in specific white cells   if the lymphocyte count drops below 500ul treatment must be discontinued immediately

I'm on Fumaderm and my blood count goes down from time to time .....but has never gone above normal. And from other people's experiences that I've read, it's been the same
