The full list of current treatments for ITP is at the following link ....

itpsupport.org.uk/index.php...

Not heard of anything other than the items listed.

The list is produced by the ITP Support Association here in the UK and is up to date , reliable and frequently checked and approved by the medical panel which the ITP Support Association work with.

So if any new treatment/drug had been made available I am fairly sure it would have been added to the list.

Best wishes

Anthony

The drug you maybe talking about is called doptelet . I am on it now it helps however the side effects have been an issue. Pain in my extremities have been the worse. With veins swelling as well. I was on promacta it didn't really help my count much.

Not what you're looking for?
