I have been taking 50mg Promacta for about 3 weeks now and platelets have risen from 34 to 140. So far, the only side effect I think is mild indigestion.

it has kept my platelets at 90,000, but I have watery eyes, lost the curl in my hair, and my blood pressure has risen to 170/103. So now I take more blood pressure medication. My ins co is not crazy about the price. I am on 75 mg. I am now on 6 week intervals for blood work. I did have an eye bleed and the dr said I just broke a blood vessel.

I have only been on it one week and no side effects except back pain. I need the platelets raise for neck thyroid surgery. I am wondering if certain foods can increase effectiveness or vitamins. I have now added steriods to up the drug..I hope...so far no increase... I am at 44 thousand now. I have had IUP for prob. 20 years.

This has helped me bet the platlet count to over 200 and keep it there It has been so easy and not have to go for a platlet drip each week as i had to do before the drug. Don't chew the pills. take it early in the morning and use coffee or tes to take it with it goes down easier that way
