1. What Revolade is and what it is used for

Revolade 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.

  • Revolade is used to treat a blood disorder called immune (primary) thrombocytopenia (ITP) in patients over 1 year of age who have already taken other medicines (corticosteroids or immunoglobulins) that have not worked for them.

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.

  • Revolade may also be used to treat low platelet levels (thrombocytopenia) in adults with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, in cases where they have had 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 due to antiviral treatments used to treat it. Taking Revolade may help them complete their antiviral treatment course (peginterferon and ribavirine).

  • Revolade may also be used in patients with low blood cell counts due to severe aplastic anaemia (SAA). SAA is a condition in which the bone marrow is damaged, leading to a deficiency of red blood cells (anaemia), white blood cells (leucopenia), and platelets (thrombocytopenia).

2. What you need to know before taking Revolade

Do not take Revolade

  • if you are allergic to eltrombopag or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6 under the heading "Composition of Revolade").

Consult your doctor if you think this may affect you.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor before starting Revolade:

  • if you have liver problems. People who have low platelet counts and also 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 Revolade outweighs the risks, you will be closely monitored during treatment.
  • if you are at risk of developing a blood clot in veins or arteries, or if you know that blood clots are common in your family.

The risk of developing a blood clot may be higher in the following circumstances:

  • if you are elderly
  • if you have been bedridden for a long 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 Revolade 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 Revolade, your doctor will perform tests to check that you do not have this condition. If you have MDS and take Revolade, 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 have routine eye exams, your doctor will ask you to have them. Your retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) should also be examined to check for bleeding in or around the retina.

Regular blood tests are needed

Before you start taking Revolade, 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 monitor liver function

Revolade may cause blood test results indicating liver damage — an increase in certain liver enzymes, especially bilirubin and alanine/aspartate aminotransferase. If you are taking interferon, the standard treatment used together with Revolade to treat low platelet counts due to hepatitis C, your liver problems may worsen.

Blood tests will be performed before starting Revolade and regularly during treatment to monitor your liver function. You may need to stop treatment with Revolade if these markers increase too much or if you develop any other signs of liver damage.

Read the information “Liver problems” in section 4 of this leaflet

Blood tests to monitor platelet count

If you stop treatment with Revolade, 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 Revolade 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 blood clot:

  • Swelling, pain, or tenderness in one leg
  • Sudden shortness of breath, occasionally accompanied by sharp chest pain or rapid breathing
  • Abdominal pain, enlarged abdomen, or blood in the stool.

Examination of bone marrow

In people with bone marrow disorders, medicines like Revolade may worsen these conditions. Signs of bone marrow changes may appear as abnormal results in blood tests. Your doctor may also perform tests to directly examine your bone marrow during treatment with Revolade.

Monitoring for gastrointestinal bleeding

If you are taking interferon, the standard treatment used together with Revolade, you will be monitored for any signs of bleeding in your stomach or intestines after you stop taking Revolade.

Heart monitoring

Your doctor may consider monitoring your heart with an electrocardiogram (ECG) during treatment with Revolade, if necessary.

Elderly people (65 years and older)

There is limited data on the use of Revolade in patients aged 65 years or older. If you are 65 or older, caution should be exercised when using Revolade.

Children and adolescents

The use of Revolade is not recommended in children under 1 year of age with ITP. It is also not recommended in children under 18 years of age with low platelet counts due to hepatitis C or severe aplastic anemia.

Other medicines and Revolade

Tell 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 Revolade (including prescription and non-prescription medicines and minerals). These include:

  • antacids used to treat indigestion, heartburn, or stomach ulcers (see also section 3 "When to take it").
  • medicines called statins, used to lower cholesterol
  • some medicines used to treat HIV infection, such as lopinavir and/or ritonavir
  • cyclosporine, used in organ transplants or immunological diseases
  • minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, selenium, and zinc, which may be present in vitamin and mineral supplements (see also section 3 "When to take it").
  • medicines such as methotrexate and topotecan, used to treat cancer

Consult your doctor if you are taking any of these medicines. Some should not be taken with Revolade; dose adjustments may be needed, or the timing of administration may need to be changed. Your doctor will review your current medications 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 Revolade, it may be necessary to reduce the dose or discontinue treatment with these medicines.

Taking Revolade with food and drinks

Do not take Revolade with food or dairy drinks, as the calcium in dairy products affects the absorption of the medicine. For more information, see section 3, "When to take it".

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Do not take Revolade if you are pregnant unless specifically advised by your doctor. The effect of Revolade during pregnancy is unknown.

  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, think you might be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant.
  • Use a reliable method of contraception to prevent pregnancy while taking Revolade.
  • If you become pregnant during treatment with Revolade, inform your doctor.

Do not breastfeed while taking Revolade. It is not known whether Revolade passes into breast milk.

If you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed, inform your doctor.

Driving and using machines

Revolade may cause dizziness and other adverse effects that may reduce your alertness.

Do not drive or operate machinery unless you are certain that Revolade does not affect you.

Revolade contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet; this is essentially “sodium-free”.

3. How to take Revolade

4. Possible adverse effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause adverse effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Symptoms to which you need to pay attention: consult your doctor

Patients taking Revolade for either ITP or low platelet counts associated with hepatitis C may develop signs related to potentially serious adverse effects. It is important that you inform your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.

Increased risk of thrombosis

Some people may have an increased risk of developing blood clots, and medicines such as Revolade may worsen this condition. Sudden blockage of a blood vessel by a clot is an uncommon adverse effect that may affect up to 1 in 100 people.

Seek immediate medical help if you experience any signs or symptoms of thrombosis, such as:

  • swelling, pain, warmth, redness, or tenderness in one leg
  • sudden shortness of breath, exceptionally accompanied by sharp chest pain or rapid breathing
  • abdominal pain (stomach), enlarged abdomen, blood in your stools

Liver problems

Revolade may cause changes detectable in blood tests, which could indicate liver damage. Liver problems (elevated liver enzymes in blood tests) are common and may affect up to 1 in 10 people. Other liver problems are uncommon and may affect up to 1 in 100 people.

If you experience any signs of liver problems:

  • yellowing of the skin or the whites of the eyes (jaundice)
  • unusually dark-coloured urine

contact your doctor immediately

Bleeding or bruising after stopping treatment

Within two weeks after stopping treatment with Revolade, your platelet levels will usually fall to levels similar to those before starting Revolade. A decrease in platelet levels may increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. Your doctor will monitor your platelet levels for at least 4 weeks after stopping Revolade.

Contact your doctor if you experience bleeding or bruising after stopping Revolade.

Some patients experience gastrointestinal bleeding after discontinuing peginterferon, ribavirin, and Revolade. Symptoms include:

  • black, tar-like stools (discoloration of stools is an uncommon adverse effect that may affect up to 1 in 100 people)
  • blood in the stools
