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

Eltrombopag Sandoz 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 cells that help reduce the risk of bleeding or prevent it.

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

Primary immune thrombocytopenia is caused by a low number of platelets (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 difficulty stopping bleeding in case of injury or trauma.

  • Eltrombopag Sandoz 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 drugs used to treat it. Taking Eltrombopag Sandoz may help patients complete full antiviral treatment (peginterferon and ribavirin).

2. Important information before taking Eltrombopag Sandoz

When not to take Eltrombopag Sandoz

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

Warnings and precautions

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

  • if the patient has liver disease. Patients with low platelet count and advanced (long-standing) liver disease are at increased risk of side effects, including life-threatening liver damage and blood clots. If the doctor considers that the benefits of taking this medicine outweigh the risks, the patient will be closely monitored during treatment;
  • if the patient is at risk of developing 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 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 trauma
    • 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 conditions apply to them. The patient should not take Eltrombopag Sandoz unless their 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 Sandoz, the doctor will perform tests to rule out this condition. If the patient has MDS and takes this medicine, 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 routine 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 will also be examined.

Regular tests will be necessary

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

Blood tests to assess liver function

Taking eltrombopag may cause changes in blood test results that may indicate liver damage - increased activity of certain liver enzymes, particularly alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, and bilirubin levels. If the patient is taking interferon-based treatment and Eltrombopag Sandoz for low platelet count associated with hepatitis C, some liver diseases may worsen.
Before starting treatment with Eltrombopag Sandoz and at regular intervals during treatment, the patient will undergo blood tests to assess liver function. It may be necessary to stop taking Eltrombopag Sandoz 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 disease".

Platelet count tests

If the patient stops taking Eltrombopag Sandoz, there is a risk 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 occur even if the platelet count is normal or too low. The doctor will adjust the dose of Eltrombopag Sandoz for the patient to avoid excessive increase in platelet count.
The patient should seek immediate medical attention 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 severe chest pain or rapid heartbeat
  • abdominal pain, abdominal enlargement, blood in the stool.

Bone marrow tests

In patients with bone marrow disorders, medicines like Eltrombopag Sandoz may worsen these conditions. 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 Sandoz.

Tests to detect gastrointestinal bleeding

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

Heart tests

The doctor may consider it necessary to examine the patient's heart during treatment with Eltrombopag Sandoz and perform an electrocardiogram (ECG).

Elderly patients (65 years and older)

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

Children and adolescents

Eltrombopag is not recommended in children under 1 year of age with primary immune thrombocytopenia.
The medicine is also not recommended in patients under 18 years of age with low platelet count associated with hepatitis C virus infection.

The patient should consult their doctorif they are taking any of the above medicines. Some of them should not be taken during treatment with Eltrombopag Sandoz, while others may require dose adjustment or appropriate timing of administration. 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, the doses of these medicines may be reduced or their use may be stopped during treatment with Eltrombopag Sandoz.
