Interesting you had the Shingrix shingles vaccine - I was told not to get it due to my ITP.

Does Famotidine also have something to do with your ITP? It's an allergy medicine?

The whole point of treating ITP is not to normalise platelet count but to aim for a safe count by using the lowest dose of medication to keep a count around 50 to 80The problem is that if we go one step further and reduce the dose of cyclosporin A to less than 100 mg daily, then my platelet is likely to crash again, that's my experience.
