She has recently noticed that her hair has started to fall out, it wasn't much at first but now when she washes her hair it is quite a noticeable amount that is coming out. Has anyone else been on this medication and noticed this as a side effect. I know she lost a lot of hair when when first got diagnosed with ITP due to other medications (steroids etc) but it did grow back again and indeed was nice and thick. I am now a bit worried that it will get really thin again. Thanks

Hi Lindylou86 I notice your post on your daughter’s hair loss was put up six years ago. May I ask whether this persisted? Got worse/better? I have been on 75 mg eltrombopag for about 3-4 months and I am very alarmed by hair loss. As you described, it wasn’t much at the beginning but every time I brush it, or worse when I wet/wash it so much comes out. I have no bald patches but when I hold my hair in a pony tail there is half the volume than before. Can anyone recommend a good shampoo to strengthen what hair I have left and encourage new growth? I live in the UK. Thanks. Lindylou I hope your daughter is doing well now.
