1. What Eltrombopag Polpharma is and what it is used for
Eltrombopag Polpharma contains eltrombopag, which belongs to a group of medicines called thrombopoietin receptor agonists. This medicine is used to increase the number of platelets in your blood. Platelets are blood components that help reduce the risk of bleeding or prevent it.
Eltrombopag Polpharma is used to treat a blood clotting disorder called immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenia in patients over 1 year of age who have already 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 higher risk of bleeding. Symptoms that patients with immune thrombocytopenia may notice include petechiae (small, flat, red, round spots under the skin), bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and difficulty stopping bleeding after a cut or injury.
Eltrombopag Polpharma 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 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 Polpharma may help patients complete a full course of antiviral therapy (peginterferon and ribavirin).
2. Important information before using Eltrombopag Polpharma
When not to use Eltrombopag Polpharma
- if the patient is allergic to eltrombopag or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6 under "What Eltrombopag Polpharma contains"). The patient should consult a doctor if they think they are experiencing the condition described above.
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Eltrombopag Polpharma, 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 the doctor considers that the benefits of taking Eltrombopag Polpharma 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 a 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. The patient should inform the doctor before starting treatment if any of the above conditions apply. Eltrombopag Polpharma should not be taken unless the doctor determines 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 Polpharma, the doctor will perform tests to rule out this condition. If the patient has MDS and is taking Eltrombopag Polpharma, the MDS may worsen.
The patient should inform the doctor if any of the above situations apply.
Ophthalmological examination
The treating physician will recommend regular monitoring to detect cataracts. If the patient does not undergo routine ophthalmological examinations, the doctor should schedule regular eye exams. Monitoring may also include detection of any bleeding in or near the retina (the layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye).
Regular testing will be required
Before starting Eltrombopag Polpharma, the doctor will perform blood tests to evaluate blood cells, including platelets. These tests will be repeated periodically during treatment.
Liver function blood tests
Eltrombopag Polpharma may cause blood test results indicating liver damage—elevated activity of certain liver enzymes, particularly bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). If the patient is receiving interferon-based therapy concurrently with Eltrombopag Polpharma for low platelet count associated with hepatitis C, some liver conditions may worsen.
Before starting Eltrombopag Polpharma and periodically during treatment, blood tests assessing liver function will be performed. It may be necessary to discontinue Eltrombopag Polpharma if levels of these substances rise too high or if other signs of liver damage occur.
Please refer to section 4 of this leaflet entitled " Liver disorders ".
Monitoring of platelet count
If the patient stops taking Eltrombopag Polpharma, there is a likelihood that low platelet count may recur within a few days. Platelet counts will be monitored, and the treating physician will discuss appropriate precautions with the patient.
Very high platelet counts may increase the risk of thrombosis. However, thrombosis may also occur even when platelet counts are normal or low. The treating physician will adjust the dose of Eltrombopag Polpharma 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 acute chest pain or rapid breathing
- abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, or blood in the stool.
Bone marrow examinations
In patients with bone marrow disorders, drugs such as Eltrombopag Polpharma may worsen these conditions. Changes in the bone marrow may manifest as abnormal blood test results. The treating physician may order direct bone marrow examinations during treatment with Eltrombopag Polpharma.
Tests to detect gastrointestinal bleeding
If the patient is receiving interferon-based therapy concurrently with Eltrombopag Polpharma, they will be monitored for signs of bleeding from the stomach or intestines after discontinuation of Eltrombopag Polpharma treatment.
Heart examinations
The treating physician may consider it necessary to monitor the patient's heart during treatment with Eltrombopag Polpharma and may perform an electrocardiogram (ECG).
Elderly patients (aged 65 years and older)
There is limited data on the use of Eltrombopag Polpharma in patients aged 65 years and older. Caution should be exercised when using Eltrombopag Polpharma in patients aged 65 years and older.
Children and adolescents
Eltrombopag Polpharma 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 infection.
Eltrombopag Polpharma and other medicines
Inform the doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is currently taking or has recently taken, including those to be taken in the future. This includes over-the-counter medicines and vitamins.
Some commonly used medicines interact with Eltrombopag Polpharma—including both prescription and non-prescription medicines, as well as mineral-containing supplements. These include:

- medicines such as methotrexate and topotecan, used in the treatment of cancer.
Consult a doctor if the patient is taking any of the medicines listed above. Some of these medicines must not be taken during treatment with Eltrombopag Polpharma; others may require dose adjustments or appropriate timing of administration. The treating physician 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 physician 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 Polpharma.
Taking Eltrombopag Polpharma with food and drink
Eltrombopag Polpharma must not be taken with dairy products or dairy drinks, as the calcium in dairy products interferes with the absorption of the medicine. Further information—see "When to take the medicine" in section 3.
