I don't know anything about the drug information you requested, but I think it might be a good idea to ask Hema's doctor to refer her to a dietician or nutritionist. Foods that benefit the immune system will help the white blood count and foods with iron and b12 will benefit the red blood count. Are there naturopathic physicans in your country. A naturopath might be able to help keep Hema's blood counts higher. Hema's doctor might also want to consider an I. V. iron treatment.
Even though we don't have a lot of energy when our blood counts are low we should try to take short walks or do some exercises in bed. Whatever we can do will help.
Good luck. All the best to you both.Take good care of yourselves.
