"I was taking Doptelet to build platelets prior to knee replacement surgery. It was doing a great job building my platelet amount. I was prescribed two tablets at once at the same time every day. I was complaining to my friends about not fitting into my clothes and cramping. I felt like I had blown up like a balloon overnight. One of my friends asked me if I’d checked the side effects. It was all there: swelling, rapid weight gain, nosebleeds, shortness of breath, and struggling to breathe after light exertion. Stabbing pain in my brain and headaches. I would still take this drug over an infusion of platelets."
