WHAT MULPLEO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Mulpleo contains the active substance lusutrombopag, which belongs to
a group of medicines called
thrombopoietin receptor agonists. The medicine helps to increase the
number of _platelets_ in your
blood. Platelets are blood components that help the blood to clot and
so prevent bleeding.
Mulpleo is used to REDUCE THE RISK OF BLEEDING DURING SURGERY AND
OTHER PROCEDURES (including
tooth extractions and endoscopy). It is given to adults who have low
numbers of platelets because of
chronic liver disease.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose is 3 mg lusutrombopag once daily for 7 days.
The procedure should be performed from day 9 after the start of
lusutrombopag treatment. Platelet
count should be measured prior to the procedure.
_Missed dose _
If a dose is missed it should be taken as soon as possible. A double
dose should not be taken to make
up for a missed dose.
_Duration of treatment _
Mulpleo should not be taken for more than 7 days.
Special populations
_Elderly _
No dose adjustment is necessary in patients 65 years of age or older
(see section 5.2).
_Renal impairment _
No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with renal impairment (see
section 5.2).
_Hepatic impairment _

Mulpleo in patients with severe hepatic
impairment (Child-Pugh class C) have not been established (see
sections 4.4 and 5.1). No dose
adjustment is expected for these patients. Lusutrombopag therapy
should only be initiated in patients
3
with severe hepatic impairment if the expected benefit outweighs the
expected risks (see sections 4.4
and 5.2). No dose adjustment is necessary for patients with mild
(Child-Pugh class A) to moderate
(Child-Pugh class B) hepatic impairment.
