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

Eltrombopag Polpharma 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 blood components that help reduce the risk of bleeding or prevent it. Eltrombopag Polpharma 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 under the skin), purpura, nosebleeds, gum bleeding, and inability to stop bleeding in case of injury or trauma. Eltrombopag Polpharma 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 some antiviral drugs used in its treatment. Taking Eltrombopag Polpharma may help patients complete full treatment with antiviral drugs (peginterferon and ribavirin).

2. Important information before taking Eltrombopag Polpharma

When not to take Eltrombopag Polpharma

  • -if the patient is allergic to eltrombopag or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6 under "What Eltrombopag Polpharma contains"). The patient should consult a doctor if they think they have this condition.

Warnings and precautions

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

  • if the patient has liver disease. People with low platelet count and advanced (long-standing) liver disease are at higher risk of side effects, including life-threatening liver damage and blood clots. If the doctor considers that the benefits of taking Eltrombopag Polpharma 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 is a family history of blood clots.

The risk of blood clots may be increased:

  • if the patient is elderly
  • if the patient has been immobilized 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 treatmentif any of the above conditions apply to them. The patient should not take Eltrombopag Polpharma 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 Polpharma, the doctor will perform tests to rule out this condition. If the patient has MDS and takes Eltrombopag Polpharma, MDS may worsen.

The patient should inform their doctor if any of the above 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 layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye) or near it may also be examined.

Regular tests will be necessary

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

Blood tests for liver function

Eltrombopag Polpharma may cause changes in blood test results that may indicate liver damage - increased activity of certain liver enzymes, in particular bilirubin and transaminases. If the patient is taking interferon-based treatment with Eltrombopag Polpharma 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 Polpharma and at regular intervals during treatment. It may be necessary to stop taking Eltrombopag Polpharma if the levels of these substances increase too much or if other symptoms of liver damage occur. The patient should read the information in section 4 of this leaflet "Liver disorders".

Platelet count tests

If the patient stops taking Eltrombopag Polpharma, it is likely that the low platelet count will return within a few days. The doctor will monitor the patient's platelet count and discuss appropriate precautions with them. 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 Polpharma to prevent the platelet count from becoming too high. The patient should seek immediate medical attentionif 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 breathing
  • abdominal pain, abdominal enlargement, blood in the stool.

Bone marrow tests

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

Tests to detect gastrointestinal bleeding

If the patient is taking interferon-based treatment with Eltrombopag Polpharma, they will be monitored for symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding after stopping treatment with Eltrombopag Polpharma.

Heart tests

The doctor may decide to perform a heart test on the patient during treatment with Eltrombopag Polpharma and perform an electrocardiogram (ECG).

Elderly patients (65 years and older)

There is limited data on the use of Eltrombopag Polpharma in patients aged 65 and older. Caution should be exercised when taking Eltrombopag Polpharma in patients aged 65 and older.

Children and adolescents

Eltrombopag Polpharma 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 Polpharma 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. Some commonly used medicines interact with Eltrombopag Polpharma- including both prescription and non-prescription medicines and products containing minerals. These include:

  • antacids used to treat indigestion, heartburn, stomach ulcers(see also "When to take the medicine" in section 3)

  • cyclosporine used in transplantsor 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 consult their doctor if they are taking any of the above medicines. Some of them should not be taken while taking Eltrombopag Polpharma, while others may require a dose adjustment or a change in the timing of taking the medicines. The doctor will review the medicines the patient is taking and recommend changes to the treatment 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, the doses of these medicines may be reduced or their use may be stopped during concurrent use of Eltrombopag Polpharma.
