Comment:
I have been on Promacta 50mg since Nov. 2010. Platelets range in the 85 to 125 range from 17. No side effects yet. Have monthly blood tests and all have been good. MUCH better than the Prednizone drugs and other meds the Dr. put me on.

I've been taking it for a month and it's working well but I've had a severe cold and extremely congested for two weeks. I'm getting better but the doctor doesn't think it's related to promacta. It's clearly disclosed as a possible side effect.

Comment:
My 17 yr.old son has been on Promacta for 2 yrs. Has had platelets range from 1,000 to 425,000 while on med. Average is 60-80,000. Whenever he gets slightest cold/illness his count severely drops, med doesn't seem effective then.

I too have lost the curl in my hair. I have watery eyes my blood pressure has stayed the same a little high. The real problem I have is the price I am on 75mg and it counts as 2 which is $160 a month
