1. What Eltrombopag Vivanta is and what it is used for
Eltrombopag Vivanta contains eltrombopag, which belongs to a group of medicines called thrombopoietin receptor agonists, used to help increase the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are blood cells that help reduce or prevent bleeding.
- Eltrombopag is used to treat a blood disorder called immune (primary) thrombocytopenia (ITP) in patients over 1 year of age who have already received other medications (corticosteroids or immunoglobulins) that were ineffective.
ITP is caused by a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). People with ITP have an increased risk of bleeding. Symptoms that patients with ITP may experience include petechiae (small, round, flat, red spots under the skin), bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and difficulty controlling bleeding if cut or injured.
- Eltrombopag may also be used to treat low platelet levels (thrombocytopenia) in adults with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, in cases where they have experienced problems with adverse effects from interferon-based treatment. Many people with hepatitis C have low platelet counts, not only due to the disease itself but also because of antiviral treatments used to treat it. Taking this medicine may help them complete their course of antiviral therapy (peginterferon and ribavirina).
2. What you need to know before taking Eltrombopag Vivanta
Do not take Eltrombopag Vivanta
- if you are allergic to eltrombopag or to any of the other components of this medicine
(listed in section 6 under the heading "Composition of Eltrombopag Vivanta").
? Consult your doctor if you think this may apply to you.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor before starting Eltrombopag Vivanta:
- if you have liver problems. People who have a low platelet count as well as advanced chronic liver disease (long-standing) are at higher risk of adverse effects, liver damage (which may be fatal), and blood clots. If your doctor considers that the benefit of eltrombopag outweighs the risks, you will be closely monitored during treatment.
- if you are at risk of developing a thrombus (blood clot) in veins or arteries, or if you know that blood clots are common in your family.
The risk of developing a thrombus may be higher in the following circumstances:
- if you are elderly
- if you have been bedridden for a long period of time
- if you have cancer
- if you are taking oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy
- if you have recently undergone surgery or suffered physical injury
- if you are significantly overweight (obesity)
- if you smoke
- if you have advanced chronic liver disease.
? If you are in any of these situations, inform your doctor before starting treatment. You should not take this medicine unless your doctor considers that the expected benefit outweighs the risk of developing blood clots.
- if you have cataracts (the lens of the eye becomes cloudy).
- if you have another blood disorder, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Before starting this medicine, your doctor will perform tests to confirm you do not have this condition. If you have MDS and take eltrombopag, the MDS may worsen.
? Inform your doctor if you are in any of these situations.
Eye examinations
Your doctor will recommend that you have an eye examination to check for cataracts. If you do not routinely have eye check-ups, your doctor will ask you to have them. Your retina (the layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye) should also be examined to detect any bleeding in or around the retina.
You will need regular blood tests
Before you start taking eltrombopag, your doctor will perform a blood test to check your blood cells, including platelets. These tests will be repeated frequently while you are taking the medicine.
Blood tests to check liver function
Eltrombopag may cause blood test results indicating liver damage – an increase in certain liver enzymes, especially bilirubin and alanine/aspartate transaminase. If you are taking interferon, the standard treatment used together with eltrombopag to treat low platelet counts due to hepatitis C, some liver problems may worsen.
You will have blood tests before starting eltrombopag and regularly while taking it to monitor your liver function. It may be necessary to interrupt treatment with eltrombopag if these markers increase too much or if you show any other signs of liver damage.
? Read the information “Liver problems” in section 4 of this leaflet
Blood tests for platelet count (levels)
If you stop treatment with this medicine, your platelet levels are likely to drop again within a few days (thrombocytopenia). Your platelet levels will be monitored, and your doctor will advise you on the necessary precautions.
Very high platelet levels may increase the risk of blood clots. However, blood clots can also form when platelet levels are normal or even low. Your doctor will adjust the dose of this medicine to ensure that the platelet count does not become too high.
Seek immediate medical help if you experience any of the following signs of a thrombus:
- swelling, pain, or tenderness in one leg
- sudden shortness of breath, occasionally accompanied by sharp chest pain or rapid breathing
- abdominal pain, enlarged abdomen, blood in the stool.
Examination of bone marrow
In people with bone marrow disorders, medicines such as eltrombopag may worsen these abnormalities. Signs of bone marrow changes may appear as abnormal results in your blood tests. Your doctor may also perform tests to directly examine your bone marrow during treatment with this medicine.
Monitoring for gastrointestinal bleeding
If you are taking interferon, the standard treatment used together with eltrombopag, you will be monitored for any signs of bleeding in your stomach or intestines after you stop taking eltrombopag.
Heart monitoring
Your doctor may, if necessary, monitor your heart during treatment with eltrombopag using an electrocardiogram.
Elderly people (65 years and older)
There is limited data on the use of eltrombopag in patients aged 65 years or older. If you are 65 or older, you should be cautious when using this medicine.
Children and adolescents
This medicine is not recommended for children under 1 year of age with ITP. It is also not recommended for children under 18 years of age with low platelet counts due to hepatitis C or severe aplastic anemia.
Other medicines and Eltrombopag Vivanta
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might need to take any other medicines. This includes medicines obtained without a prescription and vitamins.
Some commonly used medicines may interact with eltrombopag (including prescription and over-the-counter medicines and minerals). These include:
- antacids used to treat indigestion, heartburn, or stomach ulcers
- (see also section 3 "When to take it").

? Consult your doctor if you are taking any of these medicines. Some should not be taken with eltrombopag; dose adjustments may be needed, or the timing of administration may need to be changed. Your doctor will review the medicines you are taking and recommend alternatives if necessary.
If you are also taking medicines to prevent blood clots, there is an increased risk of bleeding. Your doctor will discuss this with you.
If you are taking corticosteroids, danazol, and/or azathioprine together with this medicine, it may be necessary to reduce the dose or discontinue treatment with these medicines.
