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

Eltrombopag Vivanta 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 prevent or stop 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 are petechiae (small, round, flat red spots under the skin), bruises, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and inability to stop 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 this medicine may help you complete the cycle with antivirals (peginterferon and ribavirin).

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

Do not take Eltrombopag Vivanta

  • to eltrombopag or any of the other ingredients of this medicine

(including those listed in section 6 under the heading "Composition of Eltrombopag Vivanta").

Consult your doctorif you think this may affect you.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to take Eltrombopag Vivanta:

  • . People who have a low platelet count as well as advanced chronic liver disease (long-standing) 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 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:

Tell your doctorif you are in any of these situations. You should not take this medicine 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 this medicine, 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 one. 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 regular blood tests

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, base 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. You may need to stop taking 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 taking this medicine, 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 advise you on 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 this medicine 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, painor 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 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 this medicine.

Review of gastrointestinal bleeding

If you are taking interferon, base treatment along with eltrombopag, you will be monitored for 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.

Older 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 this medicine.

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 this medicine 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.
