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.

The procedure should be performed from day 9 after the start of
lusutrombopag treatment. Platelet

dose should not be taken to make
up for a missed dose.

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).

should only be initiated in patients

expected risks (see sections 4.4
