Product Introduction
Helidoff 25mg Tablet is an anticoagulant containing the active ingredient Eltrombopag, a thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist. It is indicated for treating low platelet counts in primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and hepatitis C (HCV) infection. ITP is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system destroys platelets, which are essential for blood clotting and protecting blood vessel walls. Low platelet levels can result in severe bleeding and bruising. This tablet is also used in adults to treat low blood counts caused by severe aplastic anemia, a condition in which the bone marrow fails to produce adequate new blood cells.
This medicine is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to Eltrombopag or its components. Allergic reactions may range from mild to severe and can include rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing. Helidoff 25mg Tablet is contraindicated in patients with severe liver impairment or active liver disease. The drug can cause hepatotoxicity, indicated by increased liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. Use in patients with severe liver disease may worsen liver function, and caution is advised.
Your doctor may recommend regular eye tests to check for cataracts and bleeding in or around the retina. If you discontinue this tablet, your blood platelet count is likely to decrease again within several days. Your doctor will monitor your platelet count and adjust the dose to ensure it does not become excessively high, as elevated platelet counts can increase the risk of blood clotting. Do not take this tablet with dairy products or drinks, as the calcium in these items affects medicine absorption. Use effective birth control during treatment, and inform your doctor if you become pregnant.
Helidoff 25mg Tablet is not advised for children under one year with ITP, nor is it recommended for patients under 18 years with low platelet counts caused by hepatitis C or severe aplastic anemia. Inform your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take other medications, including over-the-counter drugs and vitamins. Helidoff 25mg Tablet price may vary depending on your location and pharmacy. Substitute options may be available; always consult your doctor before switching medications or exploring alternatives.
