Abstract

Chemotherapy induced thrombocytopaenia is difficult to manage due to limited number of therapies available. A clinical experiment using Carica papaya leaf extract helped to overcome the low platelet count in 3 to 4 days. New agents for correcting thrombocytopaenia take 3 weeks to correct the platelet count. The Carica papaya leaf extract contains large amounts of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and Calcium which are essential not only for proplatelet production but also for normal platelet function.
