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

Eltrombopag belongs to a group of medicines called thrombopoietin receptor agonists. It is used to help increase the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are blood cells that help to prevent or stop bleeding.

  • Eltrombopag is used to treat a blood disorder called immune (primary) thrombocytopenia (ITP) in patients aged 1 year and above who have had other treatments (such as 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), bruises, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and an inability to stop 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 because of the disease but also due to the antiviral treatments used to treat it. Taking eltrombopag may help you complete a full course of antiviral treatment (peginterferon and ribavirin).

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

Do not take Eltrombopag Teva

  • if you are allergic to eltrombopag or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
    • Talk to your doctor if you think this may apply to you.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting eltrombopag:

  • if you have liver problems. People with low platelet counts and advanced chronic liver disease are at a higher risk of side effects, including life-threatening liver damage and blood clots. If your doctor thinks that the benefits of taking this medicine outweigh the risks, they will closely monitor you during treatment.
  • if you are at risk of blood clotsin your veins or arteries, or if you have a family history of blood clots.

The risk of blood clots may be higherin the following situations:

  • if you are older
  • 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 had surgery or been physically injured
  • if you are very overweight (obese)
  • if you smoke
  • if you have advanced chronic liver disease

If you are in any of these situations, tell your doctorbefore starting treatment. You should not take eltrombopag unless your doctor thinks that the benefits outweigh the risk of blood clots.

  • if you have cataracts(cloudy lenses in the eye)
  • if you have another blood disorder, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Before starting eltrombopag, your doctor will do tests to check that you do not have this disorder. If you have MDS and take this medicine, the MDS may get worse.

Tell your doctorif 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 may ask you to have one. They should also check the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) for any bleeding in or around the retina.

You will need to have regular blood tests

Before starting eltrombopag, your doctor will do 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 your liver

Eltrombopag may cause changes in your liver blood tests, including increased levels of 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 get worse.

You will have blood tests before starting 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 to check your platelet count

If you stop taking eltrombopag, it is likely that your platelet count will fall again within a few days. Your platelet count will be checked and your doctor will advise you on what precautions to take. Very high platelet counts can increase the risk of blood clots. However, blood clots can also occur with normal or low platelet counts. Your doctor will adjust your dose of eltrombopag to make sure that your platelet count does not get too high.

Seek medical help immediatelyif you get any of these signs of a blood clot:

  • swelling, painor tenderness in one leg
  • sudden difficulty breathing, which may be accompanied by sharp chest pain or rapid breathing
  • abdominal pain (stomach), enlarged abdomen, blood in the stools.

Tests to examine your bone marrow

In people with bone marrow problems, medicines like eltrombopag may make these problems worse. Signs of changes in the bone marrow may appear as abnormal blood test results. Your doctor may also do tests to directly check your bone marrow during treatment with eltrombopag.

Review of bleeding in the gut

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

Heart monitoring

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

Elderly (65 years and over)

There is limited information on the use of eltrombopag in patients aged 65 years and over. Caution should be used when taking eltrombopag if you are 65 years or older.

Children and adolescents

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

Other medicines and Eltrombopag Teva

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

    • Talk to your doctorif 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 that you are taking and recommend alternatives if necessary.

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

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