What is Eltrombopag Tablet?
Eltrombopag 25 mg tablets (eltrombopag olamine) are an oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist used to raise platelet counts in patients with conditions like immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), severe aplastic anemia, or thrombocytopenia related to hepatitis C treatment.
What is Eltrombopag 25 mg used to treat?
Eltrombopag is used to increase platelet counts in patients with chronic immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenia (ITP), severe aplastic anemia, and some cases of thrombocytopenia associated with liver disease or cancer therapies. It’s prescribed when standard treatments (corticosteroids, IVIG, or splenectomy) are insufficient.
How does eltrombopag work?
Eltrombopag is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) – it binds the TPO receptor on bone-marrow cells and stimulates platelet production, helping reduce bleeding risk. This targeted, oral mechanism explains its use in chronic low-platelet conditions.
How should eltrombopag be taken?
Take eltrombopag on an empty stomach generally at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal because food (especially calcium-rich foods) reduces absorption. Swallow tablets whole with water and follow lab monitoring as directed by your doctor.
