Terms and Conditions
Doptelet is a TPO-RA that helps lift your low platelet counts while keeping some of your personal preferences in mind. Think: Chronic ITP treatment with no food-type restrictions, no doctor’s appointments for treatment injections, and more.
Keep patients’ platelets lifted at 50,000 platelets per microliter or higher…
for an average of 12 total weeks…
and lifted platelet counts in as few as 8 days!
Doptelet works with your body to help you make more platelets with less compromise
No treatment injections
Doptelet isn’t a steroid—it’s a TPO-RA (thrombopoietin receptor agonist) pill that can be taken anywhere.
Fits your schedule
You can take it on your ideal schedule, as long as you take it at the same time each day.
No food-type restrictions
Unlike some other TPO-RAs, there are no limits on your favorite foods (especially ones with calcium, iron, aluminum, magnesium, selenium, and zinc in them). #FoodRequired
No liver monitoring
Doptelet doesn’t require additional liver-function monitoring because in clinical trials it was not shown to lead to liver damage (aka “hepatotoxicity” in medical terms).
No eye exams
Doptelet can be used in people with cataracts. No eye exams are required before starting and during treatment with Doptelet.
