1. What is Eltrombopag Viatris and what is it used for
Eltrombopag Viatris contains eltrombopag, which belongs to a group of medicines called thrombopoietin receptor agonists, used to help increase the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are cells in the blood that help to stop or prevent bleeding.
- Eltrombopag Viatris is used to treat a blood disorder called immune (primary) thrombocytopenia (ITP) in patients over 1 year of age who have already taken other medicines (corticosteroids or immunoglobulins) that have not worked.
ITP is caused by a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). People with ITP have a higher risk of bleeding. Symptoms that patients with ITP may notice are petechiae (small, round, flat red spots under the skin), bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and an inability to stop bleeding if they cut or injure themselves.
- Eltrombopag Viatris may also be used to treat low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) in adults with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, in case they have had problems with the side effects of interferon treatment. Many people with hepatitis C have low platelet counts, not only due to the disease but also due to the antiviral treatments used to treat it. Taking Eltrombopag Viatris may help you complete the cycle with antivirals (peginterferon and ribavirin).
2. What you need to know before you take Eltrombopag Viatris
Do nottake Eltrombopag Viatris
- to eltrombopag or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6 under the heading “Composition of Eltrombopag Viatris”).
→ Consult your doctorif you think this may affect you.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor before you start taking Eltrombopag Viatris:
- . People who have a low platelet count and advanced chronic liver disease are at higher risk of side effects, liver damage that can be fatal, and blood clots. If your doctor considers that the benefit of Eltrombopag Viatris outweighs the risks, you will be closely monitored during treatment.
- in your veins or arteries, or if you know that blood clots are common in your family.
The risk of having a blood clot may be higherin the following circumstances:
- if you are older
- if you have been bedridden for a long time
- if you have cancer
- if you are taking the contraceptive pill or hormone replacement therapy
- if you have recently had surgery or have had physical trauma
- if you are very overweight (obese)
- if you smoke
- if you have advanced chronic liver disease
→ If you are in any of these situations, tell your doctorbefore starting treatment. You should not take Eltrombopag Viatris unless your doctor considers that the expected benefit outweighs the risk of having blood clots.
- (the lens of the eye becomes cloudy).
- , such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Before you start taking Eltrombopag Viatris, your doctor will do tests to check that you do not have this disease. If you have MDS and take Eltrombopag Viatris, the MDS may get worse.
→ Tell your doctor if you are in any of these situations.
Eye examinations
Your doctor will recommend that you have an eye examination to check for cataracts. If you do not have regular eye checks, your doctor will ask you to have them. They should also check your retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) for bleeding in the retina or around it.
You will need to have regular blood tests
Before you start taking Eltrombopag Viatris, your doctor will do a blood test to check your blood cells, including your platelets. These tests will be repeated frequently while you are taking the medicine.
Blood tests to check your liver function
Eltrombopag Viatris may cause changes in your liver function tests
- an increase in some liver enzymes, especially bilirubin and alanine/aspartate transaminase. If you are taking interferon, the basic treatment together with Eltrombopag Viatris for low platelet counts due to hepatitis C, some liver problems may get worse.
You will have blood tests before you start taking Eltrombopag Viatris and frequently while you are taking it to check your liver function. You may need to stop taking Eltrombopag Viatris if the levels of these markers increase too much or if you have any other signs of liver damage.
→ Read the information on “Liver problems” in section 4 of this leaflet
Blood tests for platelet count
If you stop taking Eltrombopag Viatris, it is likely that within a few days, your platelet count will drop again (thrombocytopenia). Your platelet count will be checked and your doctor will tell you what precautions to take.
Very high platelet countsmay increase the risk of blood clots. However, blood clots can also form with normal or even low platelet counts. Your doctor will adjust your dose of Eltrombopag Viatris to make sure that your platelet count does not get too high.
Seek medical help immediatelyif you have any of these signs of a blood clot:
- swelling, painor tenderness in one leg
- sudden difficulty breathing, which may be accompanied by sharp chest pain or rapid breathing
- abdominal pain(stomach), enlarged abdomen, blood in the stool.
Tests to examine your bone marrow
In people with bone marrow problems, medicines like Eltrombopag Viatris may make these problems worse. Signs of changes in the bone marrow may appear as abnormal results in your blood tests. Your doctor may also do tests to check your bone marrow directly while you are taking Eltrombopag Viatris.
Review of gastrointestinal bleeding
If you are taking interferon, the basic treatment together with Eltrombopag Viatris, you will be monitored for signs of bleeding in your stomach or intestine after you stop taking Eltrombopag Viatris.
Heart monitoring
Your doctor may consider monitoring your heart while you are taking Eltrombopag Viatris with an electrocardiogram, if necessary.
Elderly (65 years and over)
