Eltrombopag is a type of drug that helps with low platelet counts in immune thrombocytopenic purpura and chronic hepatitis C. It’s approved for treating those conditions. The drug works by hooking onto a receptor on cells that turn into platelets, helping to make more platelets.
You can get eltrombopag in 25 mg, 50 mg, and 75 mg tablets. They’re all coated, so they’re easy to swallow. For adults, the usual dose is 50 mg a day, and it’s best to take it on an empty stomach.
Each bottle has 30 tablets, and if you take them as directed, they’ll last you a month. Just a heads up, eltrombopag isn’t for people who have more than 500,000 platelets per microliter of blood.
