1. What is Eltrombopag Glenmark and what is it used for

Eltrombopag Glenmark contains eltrombopag, which belongs to a group of medicines called thrombopoietin receptor agonists. The medicine is used to increase the number of platelets in the patient's blood. Platelets are components of blood that help reduce or prevent the risk of bleeding.

Eltrombopag Glenmark is used to treat a bleeding disorder called primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in patients over 1 year of age who have been previously treated with other medicines (corticosteroids or immunoglobulins) and have not responded to them.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia is caused by a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). People with primary immune thrombocytopenia are more prone to bleeding. Symptoms that patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia may notice include petechiae (small, flat, red spots on the skin), purpura (bleeding under the skin), nosebleeds, gum bleeding, and difficulty stopping bleeding in case of injury or trauma.

Eltrombopag Glenmark may also be used to treat low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) in adults with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who have had difficulty due to side effects during treatment with interferon. Many people with hepatitis C have a low platelet count, not only due to the disease but also as a result of the action of certain antiviral medicines used to treat it.

Taking Eltrombopag Glenmark may help patients complete their full antiviral treatment (peginterferon and ribavirin).

2. Important information before taking Eltrombopag Glenmark

When not to take Eltrombopag Glenmark

  • if the patient is allergic to eltrombopag or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6 "What Eltrombopag Glenmark contains"). The patient should consult their doctor if they think this situation applies to them.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Eltrombopag Glenmark, the patient should discuss the following with their doctor:

  • if the patient has liver disease. In people with low platelet count and advanced (long-standing) liver disease, there is a higher risk of side effects, including life-threatening liver damage and blood clots. If the doctor considers that the benefits of taking Eltrombopag Glenmark outweigh the risks, the patient will be closely monitored during treatment.
  • if the patient has a risk of blood clots in the veins or arteries, or if there have been cases of blood clots in their family. The risk of blood clots may be increased:
    • if the patient is elderly
    • if the patient has been immobile for a long time
    • if the patient has cancer
    • if the patient is taking oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy
    • if the patient has recently undergone surgery or had an injury
    • if the patient is overweight
    • if the patient smokes
    • if the patient has advanced chronic liver disease. The patient should inform their doctor before starting treatment if any of these situations apply to them. Eltrombopag Glenmark should not be taken unless the doctor considers that the expected benefits outweigh the risk of blood clots.
  • if the patient has cataracts (clouding of the lens in the eye)
  • if the patient has other blood disorders, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Before starting treatment with Eltrombopag Glenmark, the doctor will perform tests to rule out this condition. If the patient has MDS and takes Eltrombopag Glenmark, MDS may worsen. The patient should inform their doctor if any of these situations apply to them.

Eye examination

The doctor will recommend an eye examination to detect cataracts. If the patient does not undergo regular eye examinations, the doctor should recommend regular examinations. The occurrence of any bleeding in the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) or near it may also be examined.

Regular tests will be necessary

Before starting treatment with Eltrombopag Glenmark, the doctor will perform blood tests to assess the patient's blood cells, including platelets. During treatment with Eltrombopag Glenmark, these tests will be repeated at regular intervals.

Blood tests to assess liver function

Eltrombopag Glenmark may cause changes in blood test results that may indicate liver damage, such as increased activity of certain liver enzymes, particularly bilirubin, and alanine or aspartate transaminase. If the patient is taking interferon-based treatment with Eltrombopag Glenmark for low platelet count associated with hepatitis C, some liver diseases may worsen.

Blood tests to assess liver function will be performed before starting treatment with Eltrombopag Glenmark and at regular intervals during treatment. It may be necessary to stop taking Eltrombopag Glenmark if the levels of these substances increase significantly or if other symptoms of liver damage occur.

The patient should read the information in section 4 "Liver disorders" of this leaflet.

Blood tests to assess platelet count

If the patient stops taking Eltrombopag Glenmark, it is likely that the platelet count will decrease again within a few days. The platelet count will be monitored, and the doctor will discuss appropriate precautions with the patient.

A very high platelet count may increase the risk of blood clots. However, blood clots can also occur when the platelet count is normal or too low. The doctor will adjust the dose of Eltrombopag Glenmark to ensure that the platelet count is not too high.

The patient should seek medical help immediately if they experience any of the following symptoms of a blood clot:

  • swelling, pain, or tenderness in one leg
  • sudden shortness of breath, especially with sudden chest pain or rapid heartbeat
  • abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, blood in the stool

Tests to assess bone marrow

In people with bone marrow disorders, medicines like Eltrombopag Glenmark may worsen these disorders. Changes in the bone marrow may be indicated by abnormal blood test results. The doctor may order direct bone marrow tests during treatment with Eltrombopag Glenmark.

Tests to detect gastrointestinal bleeding

If the patient is taking interferon-based treatment with Eltrombopag Glenmark for low platelet count associated with hepatitis C, they will be monitored for signs of gastrointestinal bleeding after stopping Eltrombopag Glenmark.

Heart tests

The doctor may consider performing heart tests on the patient during treatment with Eltrombopag Glenmark and may perform an electrocardiogram (ECG).

Elderly patients (65 years and older)

There is limited data on the use of Eltrombopag Glenmark in patients aged 65 and older.

Care should be taken when using Eltrombopag Glenmark in patients aged 65 and older.

Children and adolescents

Eltrombopag Glenmark is not recommended for children under 1 year of age with primary immune thrombocytopenia.

The medicine is also not recommended for patients under 18 years of age with low platelet count associated with hepatitis C virus infection.

Eltrombopag Glenmark and other medicines

The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take. This includes medicines available without a prescription and vitamins.

Certain commonly used medicines interact with eltrombopag, including prescription and non-prescription medicines and mineral products. These include:

  • antacids used to treat heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach ulcers (see also "When to take the medicine" in section 3)
  • statins, which lower cholesterol levels
  • certain medicines used to treat HIV infection, such as lopinavir and ritonavir
  • cyclosporine, used in transplants or immune system disorders
  • mineral products, such as iron, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, selenium, and zinc, which may be components of vitamin and mineral supplements (see also "When to take the medicine" in section 3)
  • medicines such as methotrexate and topotecan, used to treat cancer.

The patient should tell their doctor if they are taking any of these medicines. Some of them should not be taken while taking Eltrombopag Glenmark, or the dose or timing of the medicines may need to be adjusted. The doctor will review the patient's medicines and recommend changes if necessary.

If the patient is taking medicines to prevent blood clots, there is an increased risk of bleeding. The doctor will discuss this with the patient.

If the patient is taking corticosteroids, danazol, and/or azathioprine, it may be necessary to reduce the dose of these medicines or stop taking them while taking Eltrombopag Glenmark.

Taking Eltrombopag Glenmark with food and drink

Eltrombopag Glenmark should not be taken with dairy products or drinks, as the calcium in these products affects the absorption of the medicine. For more information, the patient should read "When to take the medicine" in section 3.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Eltrombopag Glenmark should not be taken during pregnancy unless the doctor recommends it. The effect of taking eltrombopag during pregnancy is unknown.

  • The patient should inform their doctor if they are pregnant, think they may be pregnant, or plan to have a baby.
  • While taking Eltrombopag Glenmark, the patient should use appropriate contraception to prevent pregnancy.
  • The patient should inform their doctor if they become pregnant while taking Eltrombopag Glenmark.

The patient should not breastfeed while taking Eltrombopag Glenmark. It is not known whether eltrombopag passes into breast milk.

The patient should inform their doctor if they are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.

Driving and using machines

Eltrombopag Glenmark may cause dizziness and other side effects that reduce attention.

The patient should not drive or operate machinery unless they are sure that these symptoms do not occur.

Eltrombopag Glenmark contains isomalt and sodium

If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance to some sugars, they should contact their doctor before taking the medicine.

The medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per film-coated tablet, which means it is essentially "sodium-free".
