Product Introduction
Platify 75mg tablet is an anticoagulant medicine belonging to the thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist category, containing the active ingredient eltrombopag. It is used to treat low platelet counts caused by primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) or hepatitis C (HCV) infection. ITP is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system destroys platelets. Platelets are blood cells that help with clotting and protect blood vessel walls. When platelet levels are low, severe bleeding and bruising can occur. This tablet is also used in adults to treat low blood counts caused by severe aplastic anaemia, a serious blood disease that occurs when the bone marrow fails to produce enough new blood cells. This medicine should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to the medicine or its components. Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe and may include symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing. Platify 75mg tablet is contraindicated in patients with severe liver impairment or active liver disease. This medicine can potentially cause hepatotoxicity, as indicated by increased liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. Using this medicine in individuals with severe liver disease can further worsen liver function, so caution is advised. Your doctor will recommend that you are checked for cataracts. Your doctor should arrange regular testing if you do not have routine eye tests. You may also be checked for bleeding in or around your retina, the light-sensitive layer of cells at the back of the eye. If you stop taking this tablet, your blood platelet count is likely to become low again within several days. The platelet count will be monitored, and your doctor will discuss appropriate precautions. A very high blood platelet count may increase the risk of blood clotting. However, blood clots can also form with normal or even low platelet counts. Your doctor will adjust your dose of this medicine to ensure that your platelet count does not become too high. Do not take this tablet with dairy products or drinks, as the calcium in these items affects the absorption of the medicine. Use effective birth control during treatment, and if you become pregnant, you must inform your doctor. Platify 75mg tablet is not advised for children aged under one with ITP. It is also not recommended for patients under 18 with low platelet counts caused by hepatitis C or severe aplastic anaemia. Tell your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take other medicines. This includes medicines obtained without a prescription and vitamins.
