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

Eltrombopag Viatris 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 to stop or prevent bleeding.

  • Eltrombopag Viatris is used to treat a blood disorder called primary immune 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 are 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 Viatris 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 Viatris may help you complete the cycle with antivirals (peginterferon and ribavirin).

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

Do nottake Eltrombopag Viatris

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

→ Consult your doctorif you think this may affect you.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to take Eltrombopag Viatris:

  • . People who have a low platelet count and advanced chronic liver disease are at higher risk of side effects, liver damage that can be fatal, and blood clots. If your doctor considers that the benefit of Eltrombopag Viatris outweighs the risks, you will be closely monitored during treatment.
  • in 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 higherin 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, tell your doctorbefore starting treatment. You should not take Eltrombopag Viatris 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 Viatris, your doctor will perform tests to check that you do not have this disease. If you have MDS and take Eltrombopag Viatris, 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 examinations, your doctor will ask you to have them. They should also examine your retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) to see if there is any bleeding in the retina or around it.

You will need to have regular blood tests

Before you start taking Eltrombopag Viatris, 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 Viatris may cause changes in your liver function tests

  • an increase in some liver enzymes, especially bilirubin and alanine/aspartate transaminase. If you are taking interferon, the basic treatment along with Eltrombopag Viatris to treat low platelet counts due to hepatitis C, some liver problems may worsen.

You will have blood tests before starting to take Eltrombopag Viatris and frequently while taking it to check your liver function. You may need to stop taking Eltrombopag Viatris 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 Viatris, it is likely that your platelet count will decrease again within a few days. Your platelet count will be monitored, and your doctor will advise you on the 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 Viatris 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:

  • swelling, pain, or tenderness in one leg
  • sudden difficulty breathing, exceptionally accompanied by sharp 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 Viatris 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 Viatris.

Review of gastrointestinal bleeding

If you are taking interferon, the basic treatment along with Eltrombopag Viatris, you will be monitored for any signs of bleeding in your stomach or intestine after you stop taking Eltrombopag Viatris.

Heart monitoring

Your doctor may consider monitoring your heart while you are taking Eltrombopag Viatris with an electrocardiogram if necessary.

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 Viatris for both ITP and low platelet counts associated with hepatitis C may exhibit signs related to possible serious adverse effects. It is essential that you inform your doctor if you develop symptoms.

Increased Risk of Thrombosis

Seek medical help immediately if you experience signs or symptoms of thrombosis, such as:
