PLATIFY 75MG

Platify 75mg tablets are anticoagulant medications that fall under the category of thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonists, with eltrombopag as the active ingredient. They are used to treat low platelet counts resulting from primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) or hepatitis C (HCV) infection. ITP is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks and destroys platelets, which are essential blood cells that facilitate clotting and safeguard blood vessel walls. Low platelet levels can lead to serious bleeding and bruising. Additionally, this tablet is prescribed to adults for treating low blood counts due to severe aplastic anaemia, a critical blood disorder characterized by the bone marrow’s inability to produce sufficient new blood cells.

This medication is contraindicated for individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to it or its components. Allergic responses can vary from mild to severe, potentially manifesting as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or breathing difficulties. The Platify 75mg tablet is not suitable for patients with severe liver impairment or active liver disease, as it may induce hepatotoxicity, evidenced by elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. Administering this drug to those with severe liver conditions could exacerbate liver function, necessitating caution. Your physician will recommend cataract screenings, and if you do not undergo regular eye examinations, they should arrange for periodic testing. You may also be evaluated for bleeding in or around your retina, which is the light-sensitive layer of cells located at the back of the eye.

Should you discontinue this tablet, your blood platelet count is likely to drop again within a few days. Your platelet levels will be monitored, and your doctor will advise on necessary precautions. An excessively high platelet count may elevate the risk of blood clot formation. However, blood clots can also develop with normal or even low platelet counts. Your physician will modify your dosage of this medication to ensure that your platelet count remains within a safe range. Avoid taking this drug without consulting your healthcare provider.
