1. What Eltrombopag Krka is and what it is used for
Eltrombopag Krka contains the active substance eltrombopag, which belongs to a group of medicines called thrombopoietin receptor agonists. It is used to increase the number of platelets in your blood. Platelets are blood components that help reduce or prevent the risk of bleeding.
- Eltrombopag Krka is used to treat a blood disorder called immune (primary) thrombocytopenia in patients over 1 year of age who have previously been treated with other medicines (corticosteroids or immunoglobulins) that were ineffective.
Immune thrombocytopenia is caused by a low number of platelets (thrombocytopenia). People with immune thrombocytopenia are at increased risk of bleeding. Symptoms patients with immune thrombocytopenia may notice include petechiae (small, flat, red, round spots under the skin), subcutaneous bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and difficulty stopping bleeding after a cut or injury.
- Eltrombopag Krka may also be used to treat low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who have difficulties due to side effects during interferon-based therapy. Many people with hepatitis C have low platelet counts, not only because of the disease itself but also due to certain antiviral medicines used in treatment. Taking Eltrombopag Krka may help patients complete a full course of antiviral therapy (pegylated interferon and ribavirin).
2. Important information before using Eltrombopag Krka
When not to use Eltrombopag Krka
- if the patient is allergic to eltrombopag or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6 under “What Eltrombopag Krka contains”). ➔ Consult a doctor if the patient thinks they may have the condition described above.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Eltrombopag Krka, discuss the following with your doctor:
- if the patient has liver function disorders. Patients with low platelet counts, as well as those with advanced (chronic) liver disease, are at increased risk of adverse reactions, including life-threatening liver damage and blood clots. If the doctor considers that the benefits of taking Eltrombopag Krka outweigh the risks, the patient will be closely monitored during treatment.
- if the patient is at risk of venous or arterial thrombosis, or if there is a family history of blood clots. The risk of thrombosis may be increased:
- if the patient is elderly
- if the patient has been immobilized for a prolonged period
- if the patient has malignant tumour
- if the patient is taking oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy
- if the patient has recently undergone surgery or experienced trauma
- if the patient is overweight
- if the patient smokes
- if the patient has advanced chronic liver disease ➔ Inform the doctor before starting treatment if any of the above conditions apply to the patient. Do not take Eltrombopag Krka unless the doctor considers that the expected benefits outweigh the risk of thrombosis.
- if the patient has cataracts (clouding of the eye lens)
- if the patient has other blood disorders, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Before starting Eltrombopag Krka, the doctor will perform tests to rule out this condition. If the patient has MDS, treatment with Eltrombopag Krka may worsen the condition. ➔ Inform the doctor if any of the above situations apply to the patient.
Ophthalmological examination
The treating doctor will recommend regular check-ups to detect cataracts. If the patient does not undergo routine ophthalmological examinations, the doctor should schedule regular eye exams. These may also include checking for any retinal haemorrhages (in the layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye) or nearby areas.
Regular blood tests will be necessary
Before starting Eltrombopag Krka, the doctor will perform blood tests to evaluate blood cells, including platelets. These tests will be repeated periodically during treatment.
Blood tests for liver function
Eltrombopag Krka may cause blood test results indicating liver damage – increased activity of certain liver enzymes, particularly bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). If the patient is receiving interferon-based therapy simultaneously with Eltrombopag Krka for low platelet count associated with hepatitis C, certain liver conditions may worsen.
Before starting Eltrombopag Krka and periodically during treatment, blood tests assessing liver function will be performed. It may be necessary to discontinue Eltrombopag Krka if levels of these substances rise too high or if other signs of liver damage occur.
➔ Refer to the information in section 4 of this leaflet “ Liver disorders ”.
Monitoring platelet count
If the patient stops taking Eltrombopag Krka, low platelet count may recur within a few days. Platelet count will be monitored, and the treating doctor will discuss appropriate precautions with the patient.
Very high platelet counts may increase the risk of thrombosis. However, thrombosis may also occur when platelet counts are normal or low. The treating doctor will adjust the dose of Eltrombopag Krka to prevent excessive increases in platelet count.
Seek immediate medical help if the patient experiences any of the following symptoms of thrombosis:
- swelling, pain, or tenderness in one leg
- sudden shortness of breath, especially with sharp chest pain or rapid breathing
- abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, blood in stool
Bone marrow examinations
In patients with bone marrow disorders, drugs such as Eltrombopag Krka may worsen these conditions. Changes in the bone marrow may manifest as abnormal blood test results. The treating doctor may recommend direct bone marrow examinations during treatment with Eltrombopag Krka.
Tests to detect gastrointestinal bleeding
If the patient is receiving interferon-based therapy together with Eltrombopag Krka, they will be monitored for signs of bleeding from the stomach or intestines after stopping Eltrombopag Krka treatment.
Heart examinations
The treating doctor may consider it necessary to monitor the patient’s heart during treatment with Eltrombopag Krka and may perform an electrocardiogram (ECG).
Elderly patients (65 years and older)
There is limited data on the use of Eltrombopag Krka in patients aged 65 years and older. Caution should be exercised when using Eltrombopag Krka in patients aged 65 years and older.
Children and adolescents
Eltrombopag Krka is not recommended for children under 1 year of age with immune thrombocytopenia. It is also not recommended for patients under 18 years of age with low platelet count due to hepatitis C virus.
Eltrombopag Krka and other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is currently taking or has recently taken, including those taken without a prescription and vitamins.
Some commonly used medicines interact with Eltrombopag Krka – including both prescription and over-the-counter medicines, as well as mineral supplements. These include:

- medicines such as methotrexate and topotecan, used in cancer treatment ➔ Consult a doctor if the patient is taking any of the medicines listed above. Some of these medicines should not be used during treatment with Eltrombopag Krka; others may require dose adjustments or appropriate timing of administration. The treating doctor will review all medications the patient is taking and recommend changes if necessary.
If the patient is taking anticoagulant medicines, the risk of bleeding may be increased. The treating doctor will discuss this with the patient.
If the patient is taking corticosteroids, danazol, and/or azathioprine, doses of these medicines may be reduced or their use discontinued during concomitant treatment with Eltrombopag Krka.
Taking Eltrombopag Krka with food and drink
Eltrombopag Krka must not be taken with dairy products or dairy-based beverages, as the calcium present in dairy products affects the absorption of the medicine. For further information, see “ When to take the medicine ” in section 3.
