Embopag 50 Tablet 28's is used to treat low blood platelet count in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. Embopag 50 Tablet 28's 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.

Embopag 50 Tablet 28's 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. Embopag 50 Tablet 28's works by increasing these large bone marrow cells responsible for the production of platelets. Thus, Embopag 50 Tablet 28's helps increase these bone marrow cells, thereby stimulating the number of platelets, which further lowers the risk of bleeding.

In some cases, Embopag 50 Tablet 28's 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.
