what is dooplet ?? enlighten us

[Camdenjane]

I could not afford it

Copay would have been $3000.

the drug is Fully explained on Google

[Radkins in reply to Camdenjane]

Dova the company that makes it has a copay program, that can help with that.

[Camdenjane in reply to Radkins]

I tried Dova.

My husband and I are retired educators (US)

Our combined income puts us over the financial aid limit, strange but true.

My copY for Doptelet and Promacta would be over $3000. Per month.

Any suggestions

[Radkins in reply to Camdenjane]

I would try contacting Accredo they are the specialty pharmacy that I get it through. They also have plans that will help with copays on specialty drugs that have to be directly shipped to your house

[Camdenjane in reply to Radkins]

Thank you so much. I will contact them.

Hi is there another name for this drug as when I google it nothing comes up at all

[Camdenjane in reply to Kazpig1]

Avatromopag

[Kazpig1 in reply to Camdenjane]

Hi thank you I have found it now, it’s Avatrombopag also known as Doptelet

[Camdenjane in reply to Kazpig1]

All of them have two names

[Kazpig1 in reply to Camdenjane]

They do indeed, one generic name and one proprietary, dependant upon the drug company. I couldn’t originally however find either due to the spelling, it may well be spelt differently in the uk. But I did find it with the uk spelling

Interesting, I've never heard about this. Looks like it was approved in 2018 in the US. Keep us posted please! I think it's always exciting to try new drugs and something that's better to be excited about rather than worried.

[Radkins in reply to conquerator2]

So far it has been great. No side effects like prednisone.

[Radkins]

I started taking the Doptelet in October within the first week my platelet count went from 23 up 150. Since then my count has went up and stabilized in the 200. So far I haven't really had any side effects which is good for me since I had horrible side effects to the prednisone. I see a ITP specialist at the Cleveland Clinic.

Hi radkins how often do you take doptelet? what insurance cover it ?

Good to hear your platelet stablized now.

[Radkins in reply to isbong29]

I take it once a day. My insurance did pay on it but my copay was still $1,000 a month. However Dova offers copay asistance and I qualified so I actually get it free.
