Eltrombopag and other drugs in the same category (TPO-RAs). Fatigue in Children with ITP. Our Thanks as ever go to Dr Will Lester for answering all our questions. Here is the link to the recording - https://www.youtube.com/watch?

It is a hard process, the HDAC still continues to consume my platelets, to the point where I can only rely on Eltrombopag to boost them, and I have stopped using interferon. and even I doubt the increased platelets are from Splenic hematopoiesis. I live in fear and hope every day now.

Past 6 months platelets has finally been stable, treated with Revolade (Eltrombopag) 25 mg and low dose Prednisolone. In January one year ago, two of my clogged arteries in heart had a by pass surgery. Survived serious complications. Slow heart rehabilitation. Was looking forward to a new spring!

My since long ITP trombocytopenia had been quite stable in platelets for quite a time, treated with low dose prednisolone and eltrombopag( Revolade). Easter came with terrible toothache, preliminary fixed acute by dentist.

I was going to be put on Fostamatinib but wasn't sure about the side effects so have asked to try Avatrombopag as I am currently using Eltrombopag which has suited me but seems to have stopped being effective.

Platelets are now managed with Eltrombopag with a count in the 60's. CLL is slowly returning. Lymphocytes now 11. Current plan is to see how long Eltrombopag lasts and then look around for options ... not sure what? I am hoping to qualify for Venetoclax once CLL becomes a problem.

I was on Eltrombopag and saw no response, the steriods gave me the usual temporary boost along with some unforgiving side effects but no cure, and then the specialist signed off on giving me the weekly stomach injections I can’t remember the name of the treatment.

I have been on various transfusions since end of July and currently taking daily Eltrombopag (Revolade) amongst other medication, which is helping to keeps my bloods stronger, delaying the inevitable demise. Onwards and upwards - keep fighting.

After taking Eltrombopag (Revolade) for a year and a half now I am totally familiar with the need to avoid anything with calcium and dairy for 4 hours before and two hours after taking the drug. So is it ok to take the D3/K2 tablet outside of this time frame?

He was on high dose methylpredisone 1g for 3 days (twice), rituximab injection twice, eltrombopag oral for 14 days and velpatasvir-sofosbuvir for his HCV apart from oral steroids for 8 months, tapering on and off from 60mg and HCQ due to his APS and sudden fall in platelets 4 weeks back.

Couple of questions I have is can we start him on IVIG immediately to get his platelets up temporarily until his other meds (eltrombopag, rituxan) start kicking in or wait as he still stable right now with no bleeding incidents. Thanks!

I just start eltrombopag (promacta) 25 mg /day three weeks ago. I can see my hair get thinner, I have fine hair. Anyone can give me an advise what can I do (any vitamin or hair products.... etc) will help?

Hi I've been taking Eltrombopag tabs for nearly 2yrs and before that I was having Immunoglobulin infusions every 3 weeks and now my Dr wants to remove my spleen as my platelet count is around 21-23 and hasn't gone above 30 since december and my red cell count is low as well, Have many people had their

I initially responded to eltrombopag but it stopped working after 2 months. I was then on Romiplostim for about 7 months but it had to be discontinued as it caused fibrosis of the bone marrow. I’ve been on 2.5g daily of MMF for the past 3 months and it just started working in the past 7 weeks.

I am considering asking my haematologist if I can switch (after being on eltrombopag for 3 months) to Romiplostim. I see from a table showing a summary of treatments for ITP that there is a whole long list of side effects with eltrombopag but nothing significant listed at all for Romiplostim.

In Australia I am unable to access any of the ITP drugs such as Promacta/Eltrombopag etc unless I have had a failed splenectomy. I am now considering splenectomy as I have run out of options & sitting dangerously low. Does anyone have any suggestions??

I am now on revolade (eltrombopag) started with the higher dose which seen my platelets go sky high then came down to lower dose and my platelets have came down to 26. For anyone that is on this did it take you a while to find the right dose to suit you and to keep platelets at a good level. X

Dexamethasone and Eltrombopag also didn't take. The Doctor's want to try rituximab next and I'm a little bit leary of that one. Then of course, if that doesn't work, they'll want to take my spleen and I'm kind of attached to that organ. I'm not really willing to give it up.
