You should never stop taking any medication without first consulting your healthcare provider. Low white blood cell counts can be a serious side effect that increases your risk of dangerous infections, but your doctor may have ways to help manage these side effects.

Your healthcare provider might recommend temporarily pausing treatment or adjusting your dosage if your side effects are too intense. They will carefully weigh the benefits of continuing treatment against the risks of side effects. People taking CDK4/6 inhibitors like ribociclib should be monitored closely, especially if they have other risk factors or complex medical histories. Your doctor may want to adjust your monitoring schedule or consider preventive treatments based on your specific situation and side effect profile.
