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, used to help increase the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are blood cells that help to reduce or prevent bleeding.

Eltrombopag is used to treat a blood disorder called primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in patients aged 1 year and older 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 include petechiae (small, round, flat red spots the size of a pinhead under the skin), bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and an inability to control bleeding if they cut or injure themselves.

Eltrombopag may also be used to treat low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) in adults with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, if 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 may help you complete the cycle of antivirals (peginterferon and ribavirin).

2. What you need to know before you take Eltrombopag Glenmark

Do not take Eltrombopag Glenmark

  • if you are allergic to eltrombopag or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6 under the heading “Composition of Eltrombopag Glenmark”).

Talk to your doctor if you think this may affect you.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor before starting to take eltrombopag:

  • if you have liver problems. People who have a low platelet count and advanced chronic liver disease (long-standing) are at higher risk of adverse effects, liver damage that can be fatal, and blood clots. If your doctor considers that the benefit of taking this medicine outweighs the risks, they will closely monitor you during treatment.
  • if you are at risk of having a blood clot in the veins or arteries, or if you know that the occurrence of clots is common in your family.

The risk of having a blood clot may be higher in the following circumstances:

  • if you are elderly
  • 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 undergone surgery or have suffered physical trauma
  • if you are severely overweight (obese)
  • if you are a smoker
  • if you have advanced chronic liver disease.

If you are in any of these situations, inform your doctor before starting treatment. You should not take eltrombopag unless your doctor considers that the expected benefit outweighs the risk of having blood clots.

  • if you have cataracts (the lens of the eye becomes cloudy).
  • if you have another blood disorder, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), your doctor will perform tests to check that you do not have this blood disorder before starting to take eltrombopag. If you have MDS and take this medicine, MDS may worsen.

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 layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye) for bleeding in the retina or around it.

You will need to have regular blood tests

Before starting to take eltrombopag, your doctor will perform a blood test to check your blood cells, including platelets. These tests will be repeated frequently while you are taking the medicine.

Blood tests to check liver function

Eltrombopag may cause changes in your blood test results that indicate liver damage - an increase in certain liver enzymes, especially bilirubin and alanine/aspartate transaminase. If you are taking interferon-based treatments with eltrombopag to treat low platelet counts due to hepatitis C, some liver problems may worsen.

You will have blood tests before starting to take eltrombopag and frequently while taking it to check your liver function. You may need to stop taking eltrombopag 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, it is likely that within a few days, your platelet counts will return to levels similar to those before you started taking eltrombopag. Your platelet counts will be checked and your doctor will tell you what precautions to take.

Very high platelet counts can increase the risk of forming blood clots. However, blood clots can also form with normal or even low platelet counts. Your doctor will adjust the dose of eltrombopag to ensure that your platelet count does not become too high.

Seek medical help immediately if you have any of these signs of a blood clot:

  • swelling, pain, or tenderness in one leg
  • sudden difficulty breathing, exceptionally accompanied by severe 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 may worsen the problems. Signs of changes in the bone marrow may appear as abnormal results in your blood tests. Your doctor may also perform tests to directly check your bone marrow during treatment with eltrombopag.

Review of gastrointestinal bleeding

If you are taking interferon-based treatments with eltrombopag, you will be monitored for any signs of bleeding in your stomach or intestine after stopping this medicine.

Heart monitoring

Your doctor may consider it necessary to monitor your heart during treatment with eltrombopag and perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) test.

Elderly people (65 years and over)

There is limited data on the use of eltrombopag in patients aged 65 years or over. Caution should be exercised when using eltrombopag if you are 65 years or over.

Children and adolescents

Eltrombopag is not recommended for use in children under 1 year of age with ITP. It is also not recommended in children under 18 years of age with low platelet counts due to hepatitis C.

Other medicines and Eltrombopag Glenmark

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. This includes medicines obtained without a prescription and vitamins.

Some commonly used medicines may interact with eltrombopag (including prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, and minerals). These include:

  • antacids for indigestion, heartburn, or stomach ulcers (see also section 3 “How to take Eltrombopag Glenmark”).
  • statins to lower cholesterol.
  • certain medicines to treat HIV infection, such as lopinavir and/or ritonavir.
  • cyclosporine, used in transplants or immune system diseases.
  • minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, selenium, and zinc, which may be present in vitamin and mineral supplements (see also section 3 “How to take Eltrombopag Glenmark”).
  • medicines such as methotrexate and topotecan, used to treat cancer.

Talk to your doctor if you are taking any of these medicines. Some should not be taken with eltrombopag; the dose may need to be adjusted, or you may need to change the times when you take them. Your doctor will review the medicines you are taking and recommend alternatives if necessary.

If you are also taking medicines to prevent blood clots, there is a higher risk of bleeding. Your doctor will discuss this with you.

If you are taking corticosteroids, danazol, and/or azathioprine with eltrombopag, you may need to reduce the dose or stop treatment with these medicines.

Taking Eltrombopag Glenmark with food and drinks

Do not take eltrombopag with food or dairy products, as the calcium in dairy products affects the absorption of the medicine. For more information, see section 3, “How to take Eltrombopag Glenmark”.

  • Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant.
  • Use a reliable contraceptive method to prevent pregnancy while taking eltrombopag.
  • If you become pregnant during treatment with eltrombopag, tell your doctor.

Do not breastfeed while taking eltrombopag. It is not known whether eltrombopag passes into breast milk.

If you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed, tell your doctor.

Driving and using machines

Eltrombopag may cause dizziness and have other effects that make you less alert.

Do not drive or use machines unless you are sure that eltrombopag does not affect you.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

Symptoms to pay attention to: see your doctor

People taking eltrombopag for both ITP and low platelet counts associated with hepatitis C may have signs related to serious side effects. It is important that you tell your doctor if you develop these symptoms.

Higher risk of blood clots

Some people may have a higher risk of having a blood clot, and medicines like eltrombopag may worsen this problem. The sudden blockage of a blood vessel by a clot is a rare but serious side effect that can affect up to 1 in 100 people.

Seek medical help immediately if you have signs or symptoms of a blood clot, such as:

  • swelling, pain, warmth, redness, or tenderness in one leg.
  • sudden difficulty breathing, exceptionally accompanied by severe chest pain or rapid breathing.
  • abdominal pain (stomach), enlarged abdomen, blood in the stool.

Liver problems

Eltrombopag may cause changes in your blood test results that indicate liver damage - an increase in certain liver enzymes, especially bilirubin and alanine/aspartate transaminase. Liver problems (increased liver enzymes in blood tests) are common and may affect up to 1 in 10 people. Other liver problems are rare and may affect up to 1 in 100 people.

If you have any signs of liver problems:

  • yellowing of the skin or the white part of the eyes (jaundice)
  • unusually dark-colored urine

contact your doctor immediately.

Bleeding or bruising after stopping treatment

Within 2 weeks after stopping treatment with eltrombopag, your platelet counts will usually return to levels similar to those before you started taking eltrombopag. A decrease in platelet counts can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. Your doctor will check your platelet counts for at least 4 weeks after stopping treatment with this medicine.

Contact your doctor if you have bleeding or bruising after stopping eltrombopag.

Some people have bleeding in the digestive system after stopping peginterferon, ribavirin, and eltrombopag. Symptoms include:

  • black, tarry stools
