Cataract

Hi Sally,
Too bad with the Atrial Flutter! Hope Don's heart will be OK with medication.

You know subcapsular cataract is cataract in the back of the lens not in the back of the eye. Here is a report about Promacta from the EMA in Europe corresponding to FDA - Promacta was approved later in Europe so this report is from 2009.

If you look at page 58 you will find adverse reactions regarding the eyes. They don't write what type of cataract the patients developed. The Promacta company has an ongoing study called LENS where they look for the risk for cataract in patients with Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (a bleeding disease due to a very low platelet count).

Very positive that all counts have increased ! I am afraid that I don't know what a high Neutrophil % means.

Hope the cataract will be the same and not worse at the control 10/25!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
