Hi Steven. I have had hair loss and thinning but not with Nplate but with a drug called Eltrombopag. It is very distressing. My platelets eventually increased and I was able to reduce the dose. My hair is still not what it was but I think it feels a lot better and although I still lose hair, nothing like as bad. So don’t despair. Get the platelets up hopefully by taking Nplate then ask to reduce the dose. Good luck Steven

Hi Steven, I have been taking Nplate or Romiplostin for over a year now and my hair has thinned and I’ve lost some. I lose lots of hair anyway my husband moaned about it being everywhere. But I’ve had more significant loss and it’s soft like candy floss now. The higher the dose the more loss but I’ve been using hair shampoo and conditioner for thin hair and taking hair,skin and nail tablets. Biotin and collegen are the things you need. Hopefully you won’t be on it long, I’m just all over the place, once they can get a dose that balances my platelets then I’m hoping it will start recovering. Covid hasn’t helped I’ve just had a second bout of it. It disrupts everything.

The Hair, Skin, Nails supplements really do help. I’ve tried several brands; they all seem to work.

My hairdresser told me to take them as she notice the change more less straight away. We’re both in our 50’s and she takes them daily as she said the menopause also can thin your hair. So I got some from Savers, or B+M. they’re cheaper than the supermarket and health shops 👍🏻

Hi all, I visited my local home bargains store yesterday and they had a small tub of daily collagen with biotin for around £1.50 - £2, I also bought chewable B12 which I haven’t seen anywhere for a reasonable price

Hi Steven, yes I had the same and lost a lot of hair, even eyelashes. I take, biotin and collagen supplements, this helped loads and didn’t affect my platelet count. Hope that helps

Hi Steven, I took Promatc 25mg for almost a year. My hair get so much thinner. Then I start taking multivitamin for people over 50 daily that has biotin 375( mcg) in the vitamin. It help my hair grow back a little more now. My Dr. Is ok I took multivitamin . My platelets is stable .
