Hello ,after my fourth covid booster and RSV vaccine,just in 3 month my platelets vent down to 25 , my Doctor gave me prednisone at first, didn't work....then I started PROMACTA 25mg ,taking every day, it worked ,but when doctor lowered the dose platelet count going down again....
This drug is working but it's complicated...
First when you are talking .
Second it's effects your gut and I started to taking Digestive drug.
third it's effects the Liver....
My liver is okay now but doctors told me I have to take this drug all my life I'm 60 years old now....
I don't know what to say.
Is there anyone taking this drug PROMACTA?
Looking for some suggestion About everything practically
Lifestyle, diet....
Did you go to another Doctor for 2nd Opinion...

Every patient is different, but I too developed thrombocytopenia 20k after my second booster. Some minor bruising noted but no frank bleeding.
My hematologist contacted the CDC who while not being definitive and did not provide a written response, (by my physician’s report) verbally told the providers that they have reports of such. They gave a risk factor of 1 in 10 million. They reported that of those reported the overwhelming majority returned to normal in months. Mine took about 18 months. Normal >200k, now for about 2 years.
I have even rolled the dice again and have taken last and this years booster without change in platelet count. I did switch manufacturers just out of unscientific caution.
Again, your experience may be different. You might ask your providers to talk directly with the CDC.
