Bit of news about the treatment of chronic ITP in children using eltrombopag (Promacta):

The results of two international studies carried out at dozens of trial centers worldwide show for the first time that eltrombopag is a safe and effective treatment for children with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia - a rare bleeding disorder where the blood does not clot as it should, due to low numbers of blood platelets.


More at www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/300733.php. I thought this might be worth mentioning.

Hi Aoi,

Thanks for this.

Would want to hear from parents whose kids have taken Promacta (have they gone to remission or any negative effects or it didn't work?)

Thanks!
