WHAT DOPTELET IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Doptelet contains an active substance called avatrombopag. It belongs
to a group of medicines called
thrombopoietin receptor agonists.
Doptelet is used in adults with chronic liver disease to treat low
platelet count (called
thrombocytopenia) before having a medical procedure where there is a
risk of bleeding.
Doptelet is used to treat adults with low platelet counts due to
primary chronic immune
thrombocytopenia (ITP) when a prior treatment for ITP (such as
corticosteroids or immunoglobulins)
has not worked well enough.
Doptelet works by helping to increase the number of platelets in the
blood. Platelets are blood cells
that help the blood to clot and so reduce or prevent bleeding.

Treatment should be initiated by and remain under the supervision of a
physician who is experienced
in the treatment of haematological diseases. Doptelet should be taken
at the same time of day (e.g., in
the morning or evening) with food, including when taking the dose less
frequently than once daily.
_Chronic liver disease _
Obtain a platelet count prior to the administration of Doptelet
therapy and on the day of a procedure to
ensure an adequate increase in platelet count, and no unexpectedly
high increase in platelet count in
the patient populations specified in sections 4.4 and 4.5.
The recommended daily dose of avatrombopag is based on the patient’s
platelet count (see Table 1).
Dosing should begin 10 to 13 days prior to the planned procedure. The
patient should undergo their
procedure 5 to 8 days after the last dose of avatrombopag.
