1. What is Revolade and what is it used for

Revolade contains eltrombopag, which belongs to a group of medications called thrombopoietin receptor agonists,which is used to help increase the number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are cells present in the blood that help reduce or prevent bleeding.

  • Revolade is used to treat a blood disorder called immune thrombocytopenia (primary) (PTI) in patients over 1year of age who have already taken other medications (corticosteroids or immunoglobulins) that have not worked.

PTI is caused by a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). People with PTI have a higher risk of bleeding. Symptoms that patients with PTI may notice are petechiae (small, round, flat red spots under the skin), purpura, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and inability to control bleeding if they cut or injure themselves.

  • Revolade may also be used to treat low platelet levels (thrombocytopenia) in adults with hepatitis C virus infection (HCV), in cases where they have had problems with the side effects of interferon treatment. Many people with hepatitis C have low platelet levels, not only due to the disease, but also due to the antiviral treatments used to treat it. Taking Revolade may help you complete the antiviral treatment cycle (peginterferon and ribavirin).

Revolade may also be used in patients with low blood cell levels caused by severe aplastic anemia (SAA). SAA is a disease in which the bone marrow is damaged, leading to a deficiency of red blood cells (anemia), white blood cells (leukopenia), and platelets (thrombocytopenia).

2. What you need to know before starting Revolade

Do not take Revolade

  • if you are allergicto eltrombopag or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section6 under the title “Composition of Revolade”).

Consult your doctorif you think this may affect you.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to take Revolade:

  • if you haveliver problems. People who have a low platelet count and a chronic advanced liver disease (for a long time), have a higher risk of adverse effects, liver damage that can be fatal, and blood clots. If your doctor considers that the benefits of Revolade outweigh the risks, they will closely monitor you during treatment.
  • if you havea risk of suffering a blood clotin veins or arteries, or if you know that the appearance of blood clots is a common occurrence in your family.

The risk of suffering 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 damage
  • if you have a lot of excess weight (obesity)
  • if you are a smoker
  • if you have a chronic and advanced liver disease.

If you find yourself in any of these situations,inform your doctorbefore starting treatment.You should not take Revolade unless your doctor considers that the expected benefits outweigh the risk of blood clots.

  • if you havecataracts(the lens of the eye becomes cloudy).
  • if you have anotherblood disorder, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Before starting to take Revolade, your doctor will perform tests to check that you do not have this disease. If you have MDS and take Revolade, MDS may worsen.

Inform your doctorif you find yourself in any of these situations.

Eye examinations

Your doctor will recommend that you have a check-up to see if you have cataracts. If you do not have routine eye checks, your doctor will ask you to have them. They should also check your retina (the layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye) to see if there is bleeding in the retina or around it.

You will need to have regular blood tests

Before you start taking Revolade, your doctor will perform a blood test to see how your blood cells, including platelets, are. These blood tests will be repeated frequently while you are taking the medicine.

Blood tests to check liver function

Revolade may cause your blood test results to indicate liver damage - an increase in some liver enzymes, especially bilirubin and alanine/aspartate transaminase. If you are taking interferon, a treatment given together with Revolade to treat low platelet counts due to hepatitis C, some liver problems may worsen.

You will have blood tests before starting to take Revolade and frequently while you are taking it to check your liver function. You may need to stop taking Revolade if your levels of these markers increase too much or if you have any other signs of liver damage.

See the information “Liver problems” in section 4 of this leaflet

Blood tests to check platelet levels

If you stop taking Revolade, it is likely that you will have low platelet levels (thrombocytopenia) a few days later. Your platelet levels will be checked, and your doctor will tell you what precautions you need to take.

Very high platelet levels may increase the risk of blood clots. However, blood clots can also form with normal or low platelet levels. Your doctor will adjust the dose of Revolade to ensure that your platelet count does not become too high.

Seek medical help immediatelyif you experience any of these signs of ablood clot:

  • swelling, painor sensitivityin a leg
  • sudden difficulty breathing, occasionally accompanied by severe chest pain or rapid breathing
  • abdominal pain(stomach), swollen abdomen, blood in the stool.

Bone marrow examination

In people with bone marrow disorders, medicines like Revolade can 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 check your bone marrow directly during treatment with Revolade.

Review of gastrointestinal bleeding

If you are taking interferon, a treatment given together with Revolade, you will be monitored to detect any signs of bleeding in your stomach or intestines after you stop taking Revolade.

Heart monitoring

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

People over 65 years old

There are few data on the use of Revolade in patients aged 65 years or older. If you are 65 years or older, you should be careful when using Revolade.

Children and adolescents

Revolade is not recommended for use in children under 1 year old with PTI. It is also not recommended for children under 18 years old with low platelet counts due to hepatitis C or severe aplastic anemia.

Other medicines and Revolade

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 takingcorticosteroids, danazol,and/orazathioprinetogether with Revolade, you may need to reduce the dose or stop taking these medicines.

4. Possible Adverse Effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Symptoms to watch for: consult your doctor

People taking Revolade for both PTI and low platelet counts associated with hepatitis C may experience signs related to possible severe side effects.It is essential to inform your doctor if you develop symptoms.

Increased risk of thrombosis

Some people may be at a higher risk of developing a blood clot, and medicines like Revolade may worsen this problem. The sudden blockage of a blood vessel by a clot is a rare side effect that can affect up to 1 in 100 people.

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

  • Swelling, pain, heat, redness, or sensitivity in a leg
  • Sudden difficulty breathing, occasionally accompanied by severe chest pain or rapid breathing.
  • Abdominal pain(stomach),enlarged abdomen, blood in your stools.

Liver problems

Revolade may cause changes that appear in blood tests, which may be signs of liver damage. Liver problems (elevated liver enzymes in blood tests) are common 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 of the signs of liver problems:

  • Yellowing of the skin or white part of the eyes (jaundice)
  • Dark-colored urine.

contact your doctor immediately

Bleeding or hematomas after treatment interruption

Two weeks after stopping Revolade treatment, your platelet levels will usually return to similar levels to those before starting Revolade. A decrease in platelet levels may increase the risk of bleeding or hematomas. Your doctor will check your platelet levels for at least 4 weeks after stopping Revolade treatment.

Contact your doctorif you experience bleeding or hematomas after stopping Revolade.

Some peoplehavegastrointestinal bleedingafter stopping peginterferon,ribavirin, andRevolade.The symptoms include:
