Eltropag Tablet is used to treat low blood platelet count in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. Eltropag Tablet is also used to treat severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) in adults. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is an immune condition associated with low levels of platelets. Hepatitis C is an infection and inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus. Severe aplastic anaemia is a condition in which the bone marrow doesn't make enough blood cells.
Eltropag Tablet contains 'Eltrombopag', which belongs to the class of 'thrombopoietin receptor agonists'. Thrombopoietin is a glycoprotein hormone, stimulates the formation of megakaryocytes (large bone marrow cells) and further regulates platelet production. Eltropag Tablet works by increasing these large bone marrow cells responsible for the production of platelets. Thus, Eltropag Tablet helps increase these bone marrow cells, thereby stimulating the number of platelets, which further lowers the risk of bleeding.
In some cases, Eltropag Tablet can cause common side effects like nausea, diarrhea, headache, muscle pain, tiredness, loss of appetite, fever, anaemia (lack of blood cells), cough and tingling numbness. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.
