Generic Name: Nplate for Immune Thrombocytopenia (romiplostim)
Nplate for Immune Thrombocytopenia Reviews
"Taking Nplate and it's been helping raise my platelets over 140,000. Mine was at 25,000.So Mine does go up and done but stay in a safe range. Only side effect is a bad headaches and got under control and I have lupus also and have that somewhat under control."
"After about two or three days getting the shot I get really weak, my legs hurt, starting to get ice pick headaches and, I have no energy at all. They have upped the dose two times now and symptoms are worsening."
"I've been on Nplate for more than a year now. Rituximab worked once for 16 months, Promacta did nothing for me. Nplate is working for more than a year now with little to no side effects. Sometimes, a very slight headache the day of the injection."
"I've taken Nplate, 350 micrograms for over a year. It keeps my platelets between 11 and 19. Once it reached 24. Once. IVIG and Rituxin did not work for me. Tavalisse has scary side effects and my hematologist at Stanford does not recommend it. Steroids made me crazy and since my partner is on steroids, we can't both be on them together."
"Nplate keeps my platelets around 150/200. So far, the side effects have been minimal. Amgen offers a coupon, so the cost to the patient is only $5."
"My dosage works, but I've been on it for at least 10 years. I have a feeling that it's starting to have side effects (bad muscle aches, blood clotting too much, my skin feels like I'm on fire)."
"been taking Nplate for 4 years I take N Plate weekly . No side affects . Been keeping my count above 50 most of the time higher count is over 100,000"
"Side effects I experienced included nausea (almost daily), upper abdominal pain, shoulder pain (that went away), lower back pain, joint pain, and a stuffy nose."
"Good for remaining platelets at normal range after using 250 only for one month or more than 2 months."
