WHAT NPLATE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Nplate’s active ingredient is romiplostim, which is a protein used
to treat low platelet counts in
patients with immune primary thrombocytopenia (called ITP). ITP is a
disease in which your body’s
immune system destroys its own platelets. Platelets are the cells in
your blood that help seal cuts and
form blood clots. Very low platelet counts can cause bruising and
serious bleeding.
Nplate is used to treat adult patients with ITP who may or may not
have had their spleen removed and
who have been previously treated with corticosteroids or
immunoglobulins, where these treatments
don’t work. Nplate is also used to treat children aged 1 year and
over with chronic ITP who may or
may not have had their spleen removed and who have been previously
treated with corticosteroids or
immunoglobulins, where these treatments don’t work.
Nplate works by stimulating the bone marrow (part of the bone which
makes blood cells) to produce
more platelets. This should help to
