I have been taking 2g of the above for 6 months and now have a low white cell count. I am having another blood test today to check.
Has this happened to anyone? And if so what were the next steps?

These are rare but they should show in the first year I am told.
I would not have known if they hadnt told me. anyway I had another test today to check (it could be a one off) and will get result tomorrow. I will post if anything interesting happens.

Yes pentasa can case a low white blood cell count. http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcmed.nsf/pages/fpcpentr/$File/fpcpentr.pdf
They call it rare but I know that my son almost died from Asacol because the medical community believed that 7% was considered rare. They have since pulled Asacol here in the States.
