I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm trying to find out which drug causes hemolytic anemia. I'm not sure where to start or who to ask. Is there any drug in particular that has been linked to this condition? Has anyone had any experience with this? Any advice on where I should look for more information would be greatly appreciated.
