Nplate and Promacta

Hi Bebop,
No, both Nplate and Promacta are only approved for the bleeding disease Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura, so it is always difficult for a MDS patient to get the drugs off record. Hope your father's platelets function well and that he will get a higher count after platelet transfusions!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
