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 affect you.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting eltrombopag:

  • if you have liver problems. People who have a low platelet count and advanced chronic liver disease are at a higher risk of side effects, liver damage that can be fatal, 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 having a blood clotin your veins or arteries, or if you know that blood clots are common in your family.

The risk of having a blood clot may be higher

  • 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 having blood clots.

  • if you have cataracts(the lens in the eye becomes cloudy)
  • 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, 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 will ask you to have one. They will also check the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) for bleeding in the retina or around it.

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, showing 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 get worse.

You will have blood tests before starting eltrombopag and frequently while taking it to check your liver. 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 tell you 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.

Check for 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.

Older adults (65 years and over)

There is limited information on the use of eltrombopag in patients aged 65 years and over. You should be cautious when using 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.

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

  • 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
    • 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 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, you may need to reduce the dose or stop treatment with these medicines.

4. Possible Adverse Effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause adverse effects, although not all people suffer from them.

Symptoms to which you need to pay attention: consult your doctor

People taking eltrombopag for both ITP and low platelet count associated with hepatitis C may exhibit signs related to potential serious adverse effects. It is essential that you inform your doctor if you develop these symptoms.

Increased Risk of Thrombosis

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

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs or symptoms of thrombosis, such as:
