Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compounds, and compositions for safely reducing thrombopoietin in a cell or an individual. Such methods, compounds, and compositions maintain platelet count within a safe hemostatic range. Such methods, compounds, and compositions are useful to safely treat, prevent, or ameliorate a disease that can benefit from platelet count reduction in an individual. Such methods, compounds, and compositions are useful for treating or preventing diseases in which thrombopoietin contributes to the presence or activation of platelets contributes to and promotes disease initiation or progression, and/or adversely affects disease outcome.
