So, eltrombopag is this thing that helps with low platelet counts in people with ITP or chronic hepatitis C. It’s kind of like a TPO receptor agonist. It gets those platelets going, you know? The tablet strengths available are 25 mg, 50 mg, and 75 mg, with a recommended daily dose of 50 mg taken once daily on an empty stomach.
These pills are coated and come in bottles of 30. You start with 50 mg a day and see how you go. If needed, you can go up to 75 mg, depending on how your blood counts are doing.
Now, eltrombopag’s not for folks with HIT or those who’ve had cancers linked to low platelet levels. Side effects can include things like anemia, a drop in white blood cells, and low red blood cells. It is important to monitor platelet counts and hemostasis when using eltrombopag, as well as to assess the risk of thrombotic events.
