WHAT REVOLADE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Revolade contains eltrombopag, which belongs to a group of medicines
called
thrombopoietin-receptor agonists
_. _
It is used to help increase the number of platelets in your blood.
Platelets are blood cells that help to reduce or prevent bleeding.
•
Revolade is used to treat a bleeding disorder
called immune (primary) thrombocytopenia (ITP)
in patients aged 1 year and above who have already taken other
medicines (corticosteroids or
immunoglobulins), which have not worked.
ITP is caused by a low blood platelet count (thrombocytopenia). People
with ITP have an
increased risk of bleeding. Symptoms patients with ITP may notice
include petechiae (pinpoint-
sized flat round red spots under the skin), bruising, nosebleeds,
bleeding gums and not being
able to control bleeding if they are cut or injured.
•
Revolade can also be used to treat low platelet count
(thrombocytopenia) in adults with
hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, if they have had problems with
side effects while on
