1. What is Revolade and what is it used for

Revolade 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 reduce or prevent bleeding.

  • Revolade 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), bruising, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and inability to stop bleeding if cut or injured.

  • Revolade 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 Revolade may help you complete the cycle with antivirals (peginterferon and ribavirin).

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

2. What you need to know before you take Revolade

Do not take Revolade

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

Consult your doctorif you think this may affect you.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to take Revolade:

  • . 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 Revolade 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 in any of these situations, tell your doctorbefore starting treatment. You should not take Revolade 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 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.

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 examinations, your doctor will ask you to have one. They will 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 Revolade, 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

Revolade may cause changes in your liver function tests, including increased levels of certain liver enzymes, especially bilirubin and alanine/aspartate transaminase. If you are taking interferon, the basic treatment along 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 taking it to check your liver function. You may need to stop taking Revolade 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 platelet count

If you stop taking Revolade, 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 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 Revolade 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 Revolade 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 Revolade.

Review of gastrointestinal bleeding

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

Heart monitoring

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

Elderly (65 years and over)

There is limited data on the use of Revolade in patients aged 65 years or over. If you are 65 or over, you should be cautious when using Revolade.

Children and adolescents

Revolade 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 or severe aplastic anemia.

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

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

Increased Risk of Thrombosis

Some people may have a higher risk of having a thrombus, and medications like Revolade 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 medical help immediately if you experience signs or symptoms of thrombosis, such as:

  • swelling, pain, heat, redness, orsensitivity in one leg
  • sudden difficulty breathing, exceptionally accompanied by acute chest pain or agitated breathing.

Liver Problems

Revolade can cause changes that appear in blood tests, which can be signs of liver damage. Liver problems (increased liver enzymes in blood tests) are frequent 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 signs of liver problems:

  • yellowish coloron the skin or in the white area of the eyes (jaundice)
  • dark-colored urinethat is unusual.

contact your doctor immediately

Bleeding or Hematoma after Treatment Interruption

Two weeks after interrupting treatment with Revolade, your platelet levels will normally drop to levels similar to those before starting Revolade. A decrease in platelet levels can increase the risk of bleeding or hematoma. Your doctor will check your platelet levels for at least 4 weeks after interrupting treatment with Revolade.

Contact your doctorif you experience bleeding or hematoma when stopping Revolade.

Some people have bleeding in thedigestive systemafter stopping peginterferon, ribavirin, and Revolade. Symptoms include:
