1. What Eltrombopag Olpha is and what it is used for
Eltrombopag Olpha 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 cells that help reduce or prevent the risk of bleeding.
Eltrombopag Olpha is used to treat a blood clotting disorder called immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in patients over 1 year of age who have already been treated with other medicines (corticosteroids or immunoglobulins) that were ineffective.
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is caused by a low number of platelets (thrombocytopenia). People with ITP are at increased risk of bleeding. Symptoms patients with ITP may notice include petechiae (small, flat, red, round spots under the skin), bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and difficulty stopping bleeding after cuts or injury.
Eltrombopag Olpha may also be used to treat low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who have difficulties with antiviral treatment due to side effects. Many people with chronic hepatitis C have low platelet counts, not only because of the disease itself but also due to side effects of certain antiviral medicines used in treatment. Taking Eltrombopag Olpha may help patients complete full antiviral treatment (pegylated interferon and ribavirin).
2. Important information before using the medicine
When not to use Eltrombopag Olpha
- if the patient is allergic to eltrombopag or any of the other ingredients of the medicine (listed in section 6 under the heading “What Eltrombopag Olpha contains”). Please consult a doctor if the patient thinks they may have the condition described above.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Eltrombopag Olpha, discuss the following with your doctor:
- if the patient has liver disease. Patients with low platelet counts and 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 this medicine outweigh the risks, the patient will be closely monitored during treatment.
- if the patient has a risk of blood clots in veins or arteries, or if there is a family history of blood clots. The risk of blood clots may be increased:
- if the patient is elderly,
- if the patient has been immobile for a prolonged period,
- if the patient has a malignant tumour,
- if the patient is taking oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy,
- if the patient has recently undergone surgery or suffered 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. Do not take Eltrombopag Olpha unless the doctor determines that the expected benefits outweigh the risk of blood clots.
- if the patient has cataracts (clouding of the eye lens),
- if the patient has other blood disorders, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Before starting treatment with Eltrombopag Olpha, the doctor will perform tests to rule out this condition. If the patient has MDS and takes this medicine, MDS may worsen.
Inform the doctor if any of the above situations apply to the patient.
Ophthalmological examination
The treating doctor will recommend regular eye examinations to detect cataracts. If the patient does not routinely undergo ophthalmological examinations, the doctor should prescribe regular checks. These may also include monitoring for any bleeding in or near the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye).
Regular monitoring will be required
Before starting Eltrombopag Olpha, the doctor will perform blood tests to assess blood cells, including platelets. These tests will be repeated periodically during treatment.
Liver function blood tests
Taking eltrombopag may lead to blood test results indicating liver damage—increased activity of certain liver enzymes, particularly alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, and increased bilirubin levels. If the patient is receiving interferon-based treatment simultaneously with Eltrombopag Olpha for low platelet count associated with hepatitis C, some liver conditions may worsen.
Before starting Eltrombopag Olpha and periodically during treatment, the patient will undergo blood tests to assess liver function. It may be necessary to discontinue Eltrombopag Olpha if levels of these substances rise too high or if other signs of liver damage occur.
Please refer to the information in section 4 of this leaflet, “Liver disorders”.
Monitoring platelet count
If the patient stops taking Eltrombopag Olpha, platelet counts may decrease again within a few days. Platelet counts will be monitored, and the treating doctor will discuss appropriate precautions with the patient.
A very high platelet count may increase the risk of blood clots. However, blood clots may also occur when platelet counts are normal or low. The treating doctor will adjust the dose of Eltrombopag Olpha to prevent excessive increases in platelet count.
Seek immediate medical help if the patient experiences any of the following symptoms of blood clots:
- 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, medicines such as Eltrombopag Olpha 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 Olpha.
Tests to detect gastrointestinal bleeding
If the patient is receiving interferon-based treatment simultaneously with Eltrombopag Olpha, they will be monitored for signs of stomach or intestinal bleeding after stopping this medicine.
Heart examinations
The doctor may decide that heart monitoring is necessary during treatment with Eltrombopag Olpha and may perform an electrocardiogram (ECG).
Elderly patients (65 years and older)
There is limited data on the use of eltrombopag in patients aged 65 years and older. Caution should be exercised when using Eltrombopag Olpha in patients aged 65 years and older.
Children and adolescents
Eltrombopag is not recommended for children under 1 year of age with immune thrombocytopenia. The medicine is also not recommended for patients under 18 years of age with low platelet count due to hepatitis C virus infection.
Other medicines and Eltrombopag Olpha
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is currently taking or has recently taken, including medicines obtained without a prescription and vitamins.
Some commonly used medicines interact with eltrombopag—including both prescription and over-the-counter medicines, as well as mineral supplements. These include:
- antacids used to treat indigestion, heartburn, or stomach ulcers (see also “When to take the medicine” in section 3),
- statins, which lower cholesterol levels,
- certain medicines used to treat HIV infection, such as lopinavir and/or ritonavir,
- cyclosporine, used in transplant patients or in autoimmune diseases,
- minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, selenium, and zinc, which may be components of vitamin-mineral supplements (see also “When to take the medicine” in section 3),
- medicines such as methotrexate and topotecan, used in cancer treatment.
Consult your doctor if the patient is taking any of the medicines listed above. Some of these should not be taken during treatment with Eltrombopag Olpha; for others, dose adjustments or changes in timing of administration may be required. The doctor will review all medicines the patient is taking and recommend changes to the treatment regimen if necessary.
If the patient is taking anticoagulant medicines to prevent blood clots, the risk of bleeding may be increased. The doctor will discuss this with the patient.
If the patient is taking corticosteroids, danazol, and/or azathioprine, the doses of these medicines may be reduced or their use discontinued during concomitant treatment with Eltrombopag Olpha.
Taking Eltrombopag Olpha with food and drink
Do not take Eltrombopag Olpha with dairy products or dairy-containing beverages, as the calcium in these products affects the absorption of the medicine. For further information, see “When to take Eltrombopag Olpha” in section 3.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Do not use Eltrombopag Olpha during pregnancy unless specifically advised by a doctor. The effect of eltrombopag used during pregnancy is unknown.
- Inform the doctor if the patient is pregnant, suspects she may be pregnant, or plans to become pregnant.
- While taking Eltrombopag Olpha, use an effective method of contraception to prevent pregnancy.
- Inform the doctor immediately if the patient becomes pregnant while taking Eltrombopag Olpha.
Do not breastfeed while taking Eltrombopag Olpha. It is not known whether Eltrombopag Olpha passes into breast milk. Inform the doctor if the patient is breastfeeding or plans to breastfeed.
Driving and operating machinery
Eltrombopag Olpha may cause dizziness and other adverse effects that impair concentration.
Do not drive or operate machinery unless the patient is certain that these symptoms do not occur.
Eltrombopag Olpha contains isomalt and sodium
If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance to certain sugars, they should consult a doctor before taking this medicine.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per coated tablet, meaning the medicine is considered “sodium-free”.
