ROMPAG 50

Rompag 50mg Tablet is an important anticoagulant drug that belongs to the thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist category and contains the active ingredient Eltrombopag. It is specifically used to effectively treat low platelet counts caused by either primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) or hepatitis C (HCV) infection. ITP refers to an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system mistakenly destroys platelets. Platelets are essential blood cells that aid in clotting and provide crucial protection to blood vessel walls. When platelet levels are too low, it can unfortunately result in severe bleeding and bruising. This tablet is also utilized in adults to treat dangerously low blood counts caused by severe aplastic anemia (a serious blood disease that occurs when the bone marrow fails to produce enough new blood cells).
This drug should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to the drug or any of its components. Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe and may include symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing. Rompag 50mg Tablets are strictly contraindicated in patients with severe liver impairment or active liver disease. This drug can potentially cause hepatotoxicity, as indicated by increased liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. Using this drug in individuals with severe liver disease can further worsen liver function, so extreme caution is advised. Your doctor will recommend that you are regularly checked for cataracts. Your doctor should also arrange regular eye testing if you do not already have routine eye examinations. You may also be checked for bleeding in or around your retina (the light-sensitive layer of cells at the back of the eye).
If you stop taking this tablet, your blood platelet count is likely to become low again within several days. Your platelet count will be closely monitored, and your doctor will discuss appropriate precautions. A very high blood platelet count may significantly increase the risk of blood clotting. However, it’s important to note that blood clots can also form with normal or even low platelet counts. Your doctor will meticulously adjust your dose of this medicine to ensure that your platelet count does not become too high. Do not take this tablet with dairy products or drinks, as the calcium in these items can significantly affect the absorption of the medicine. It is crucial to use effective birth control during the entire treatment, and if you become pregnant, you must immediately inform your doctor. Rompag 50mg Tablets are not advised for children under one year of age with ITP. It is also not recommended for patients under 18 years of age with low platelet counts caused by hepatitis C or severe aplastic anemia. Always tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking, have recently taken, or might take, which includes medicines obtained without a prescription and all vitamins.
