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

This medicine 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 reduce or prevent bleeding.

  • Eltrombopag 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 include petechiae (small, round, flat red spots under the skin), bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and inability to control bleeding if cut or injured.

  • Eltrombopag 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 may help you complete the cycle with antivirals (peginterferon and ribavirin).

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

Do not take Eltrombopag Tarbis

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

?Consult your doctorif you think this may affect you.

?Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to take Eltrombopag Tarbis:

  • . People who have a low platelet count as well as advanced chronic liver disease (long-standing) have a higher risk of side effects, liver damage that can be fatal, and blood clots. If your doctor considers that the benefit of eltrombopag outweighs the risks, you will be closely monitored during treatment.
  • in veins or arteries, or if you know that the occurrence of blood clots is common in your family.

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

? If you are in any of these situations, tell your doctorbefore starting treatment. You should not take eltrombopag 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 starting to take eltrombopag, your doctor will perform tests to check that you do not have this disease. If you have MDS and take eltrombopag, MDS may worsen.

?Tell your doctorif you are in any of these situations.

Eye exams

Your doctor will recommend that you have an eye exam to check for cataracts. If you do not have regular eye exams, 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 blood tests on a regular basis

Before you start taking 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, basic treatment along 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. It may be necessary to stop treatment with eltrombopag if the levels of these markers increase too much or if you have any other sign of liver damage.

?Read the information on “Liver problems” in section 4 of this leaflet

Blood tests for platelet count

If you stop treatment with eltrombopag, it is likely that within a few days, you will have low platelet counts again (thrombocytopenia). Your platelet counts will be monitored and your doctor will tell you what precautions to take.

Very high platelet counts may increase the risk of 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 immediatelyif you have any of these signs of a blood clot:

blood clot:

  • swelling, painor 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 disorders, medicines like eltrombopag may worsen the disorders. 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, basic treatment along with eltrombopag, you will be monitored for any signs of bleeding in your stomach or intestine after you stop taking eltrombopag.

Heart monitoring

Your doctor may consider, if necessary, monitoring your heart while you are taking eltrombopag using an electrocardiogram.

Elderly people (65 years and over)

There is limited data on the use of eltrombopag in patients aged 65 years or over. If you are 65 or over, you should be cautious when using eltrombopag.

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 Tarbis

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.

  • minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, selenium, and zinc, which may be present in vitamin and mineral supplements (see also section 3 “When to take it”).
  • medicines such as methotrexate and topotecan, used to treat cancer

? Consult 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 azathioprinealong with eltrombopag, it may be necessary to reduce the dose or stop treatment with these medicines.

People taking eltrombopag for both ITP and low platelet counts associated with hepatitis C may experience signs related to possible serious adverse effects.

It is essential that you inform your doctor if you develop symptoms.

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

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

  • swelling, pain, heat, redness, orsensitivity in one leg
  • sudden difficulty breathing, exceptionally accompanied by acute chest pain or agitated breathing.

Eltrombopag may cause changes that appear in blood tests, which can be signs of liver damage. Liver problems (increased liver enzymes in blood tests) are frequent and can affect up to 1 in 10 people. Other liver problems are rare and can affect up to 1 in 100 people.

If you have any signs of liver problems:

  • yellowish coloron the skin or in the white area of the eyes (jaundice)

?contact your doctor immediately

Bleeding or Bruising after Stopping Treatment

Two weeks after stopping treatment with eltrombopag, your platelet levels will normally drop to levels similar to those before starting eltrombopag. A decrease in platelet levels can increase the risk of having bleeding or bruising. Your doctor will check your platelet levels for at least 4 weeks after stopping treatment with eltrombopag. ?Contact your doctorif you have bleeding or bruising when you stop taking eltrombopag.

Some people have bleeding in the digestive systemafter stopping peginterferon, ribavirin, and eltrombopag. The symptoms include:
