Doptelet (avatrombopag) "After Promacta started losing its effect on platelets we started with Doptelet and the results after two cycles showed no improvement over Promacta at the time we decided to change medications. My Doctor and I are now considering other medications."

"After 10 years, Promacta stopped working so now I’m taking 20mg/day of Doptelet with 2.5mg of prednisone. This has stabilized my platelet loss and I am gradually bringing the numbers back to normal. It doesn’t work quickly but I’ve experienced no side effects or discomfort. Hopefully recovering."

Doptelet (avatrombopag) "Attempting to get off steroids, I was given Doptelet tablets (4) days ago. Within the first day, the headache started and hasn't gotten better. 'Mind fog' since starting the medication and times of confusion. I believe my eyesight is also affected as it is difficult to focus on items or read printed materials."

Doptelet (avatrombopag) "After my ITP became refractory to Dexamethasone, my Hematologist tried Eltrombopag with minimal results after months. He decided to switch me to Avatrombopag and it worked great. After 3 months of taking it, my platelet counts reached the normal range, and we discontinued the use of the medication. That was 2 years ago."

Doptelet (avatrombopag) "Tried steroids, rituximab, IVIG, nothing works as well as Doptelet. I take it 2x each week and my platelets are around 50k. No side effects except when I first started taking it and had mild headaches. For me, it's a godsend."
