1. What Eltrombopag Olpha is and what it is used for
Eltrombopag Olpha contains 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 the risk of bleeding or prevent it.
Eltrombopag Olpha is used to treat a blood clotting 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 that patients with immune thrombocytopenia may notice include petechiae (small, flat, red, pinpoint spots under the skin), bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and difficulty stopping bleeding after a cut or injury.
Eltrombopag Olpha may also be used to treat low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) in adults with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who have experienced difficulties due to side effects during interferon treatment. Many people with hepatitis C have low platelet counts, not only due to the disease itself but also as a result of certain antiviral medicines used in treatment. Taking Eltrombopag Olpha may help patients complete full antiviral treatment (peginterferon and ribavirin).
2. 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 this medicine (listed in section 6 under the heading “What Eltrombopag Olpha contains”). Please consult your doctor if you think you 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/or advanced (chronic) liver disease are at increased risk of adverse reactions, including life-threatening liver damage and blood clots. If your doctor considers that the benefits of taking this medicine outweigh the risks, you will be closely monitored during treatment.
- if the patient is at 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 malignant cancer,
- 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 your doctor before starting treatment if any of the above conditions apply to you. Do not take Eltrombopag Olpha unless your doctor determines that the expected benefits outweigh the risk of blood clots.
- if the patient has cataracts (clouding of the eye's lens),
- if the patient has other blood disorders, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Before starting Eltrombopag Olpha, your doctor will perform tests to rule out this condition. If the patient has MDS and takes this medicine, MDS may worsen.
Inform your doctor if any of the above situations apply to you.
Ophthalmological examination
Your treating doctor will recommend regular monitoring to detect cataracts. If the patient does not routinely undergo eye examinations, the doctor should arrange regular check-ups. Monitoring may also include detection of any retinal haemorrhages (in the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) or haemorrhages nearby.
Regular tests will be required
Before starting Eltrombopag Olpha, your doctor will perform blood tests to assess blood cells, including platelets. These tests will be repeated periodically during treatment.
Blood tests to monitor liver function
Eltrombopag may cause 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 concurrently with Eltrombopag Olpha for low platelet count associated with hepatitis C, certain liver conditions may worsen.
Before starting Eltrombopag Olpha and periodically during treatment, blood tests to assess liver function will be performed. 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 your treating doctor will discuss appropriate precautions with you.
A very high platelet count may increase the risk of blood clots. However, blood clots may also occur even when platelet counts are normal or low. Your 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 sudden chest pain or rapid breathing,
- stomach (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 be indicated by abnormal blood test results. Your 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 concurrently with Eltrombopag Olpha, they will be monitored for signs of bleeding from the stomach or intestines after stopping this medicine.
Heart examinations
Your doctor may consider it necessary to monitor the patient’s heart during treatment with Eltrombopag Olpha and may perform an electrocardiogram (ECG).
Elderly patients (aged 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.
Other medicines and Eltrombopag Olpha
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is currently taking, has recently taken, or plans to take. This includes over-the-counter medicines 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 and 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 medicines must not be taken during treatment with Eltrombopag Olpha; others may require dose adjustments or appropriate timing of administration. Your doctor will review all medicines the patient is taking and recommend changes in treatment if necessary.
If the patient is taking anticoagulant medicines to prevent blood clots, there is an increased risk of bleeding. Your doctor will discuss this with you.
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
Eltrombopag Olpha must not be taken with dairy products or dairy drinks, as the calcium in dairy 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 your doctor specifically recommends it. The effect of eltrombopag during pregnancy is unknown.
- Inform your doctor if the patient is pregnant, suspects she may be pregnant, or is planning to become pregnant.
- An appropriate method of contraception should be used during treatment with Eltrombopag Olpha to prevent pregnancy.
- Inform your doctor 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 your doctor if the patient is breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed.
