I've been prescribed Eltrombopag 12.5mg for severe aplastic anemia and was wondering if anyone else here has experience with this medication. It's supposed to help boost platelet counts, but the side effects list is surprisingly long. Has anyone experienced any serious issues like blood clots or neurological symptoms? I'm particularly concerned about the potential for severe allergic reactions. Also, how well does it work? Has anyone seen a significant increase in their platelet count while taking this medication? I'd love to hear about your experiences, good or bad. I’m hoping to get some practical advice on managing the potential side effects and to see if there are any tips or tricks to make the experience better.
