Promacta

Has anyone with AA used Promacta to increase platelet counts? Dad's hem/oc thought it might be worth trying. I don't see anything about it on the AAMDS Foundation website and know it is used for treatment of ITP.
I am concerned about adding another drug into the mix. Would love some input.

Do you know what his current platelet count is or at what point his doc transfuses platelets for him? And, is he having any bleeding?
