Consumer:

The use of amrinone, and infrequently, milrinone, can cause thrombocytopenia. This appears to be dose-dependent and usually occurs during prolonged therapy. Therapy with amrinone and milrinone should be administered cautiously in patients with thrombocytopenia. The dosage may need to be reduced or the drug discontinued if platelet count falls below 150,000/mm3 or if symptoms develop. Platelet counts prior and during therapy are recommended.
