I know the Promacta rx pamphlet discusses an adverse effect of thromboembolic events (clotting events). Because of that and in my case, my doctor looks for a target platelet number of 50,000. When I exceed 50,000 (went up to 75,000 on 50 mg), my doctor reduces. I'm currently on 4 days at 50 mg and 3 days at 25 mg. I range from around 42,000-56,000. Low stable. I would be concerned if the platelet number got too high as a clotting event would be more likely (from what I understand). I don't know if N-Plate is similar. Clotting events are scary. I wish you the best!
