Label name ELTROMBOPAG 25 MG TABLET Ingredient Eltrombopag Olamine
📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Eltrombopag is used to treat thrombocytopenia (a low number of platelets [type of blood cell needed for blood clotting]) and aplastic anemia (condition in which the body does not make enough new blood cells). Eltrombopag is in a class of medications called thrombopoietin receptor agonists. It works by causing the cells in the bone marrow to produce more platelets.

13 inactive ingredients listed in the exact product block matched to this NDC.

Where does this data come from?
Data sourced from official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMed — ingredient classCode="IACT" elements from the exact product block matched by this NDC. Label-section narrative from DailyMed / the openFDA label index is shown separately when available.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

💲 Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer eachPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo No recent Medicaid claims on file for this NDC — rare and low-volume NDCs are suppressed in the public data.
Medicare drug plans payPart D · Q2 2026 $65.88 $1,976.34 / 30 tablets
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The FDA registers it as 43598-730-30, which is what is printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero: 43598-0730-30, written without dashes as 43598073030. The Identity section at the top of this page lists every form of this code.
What do the three segments of this NDC mean?
In 43598-0730-30, the first segment (43598) is the labeler code FDA assigned to Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Inc.,; the middle segment (0730) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (30) identifies this exact package size and type. Together they name one specific package of one specific product.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Inc.,. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Inc., is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ~3 min read ▾

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Take eltrombopag tablets without a meal or with a meal low in calcium (≤ 50 mg). Take eltrombopag tablets at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after any medications or products containing polyvalent cations, such as antacids, calcium-rich foods, and mineral supplements. ( 2.4 , 7.1 , 12.3 ) Persistent or Chronic ITP: Initiate eltrombopag tablets at 50 mg orally once daily for most adult and pediatric patients 6 years and older, and at 25 mg orally once daily for pediatric patients aged 1 to 5 years.

Dose reductions are needed for patients with hepatic impairment and some patients of East-/Southeast-Asian ancestry. Adjust to maintain platelet count greater than or equal to 50 x 10 9 /L. Do not exceed 75 mg per day.

( 2.1 , 8.6 , 8.7 ) Chronic Hepatitis C-associated Thrombocytopenia: Initiate eltrombopag tablets at 25 mg orally once daily for all patients. Adjust to achieve target platelet count required to initiate antiviral therapy. Do not exceed a daily dose of 100 mg.

( 2.2 ) First-line Severe Aplastic Anemia: Initiate eltrombopag tablets orally once daily at 2.5 mg/kg (in pediatric patients aged 2 to 5 years old), 75 mg (pediatric patients aged 6 to 11 years old), or 150 mg for patients aged 12 years and older concurrently with standard immunosuppressive therapy. Reduce initial dose in patients of East-/Southeast-Asian ancestry. Modify dosage for toxicity or elevated platelet counts.

(2.3 , 8.7 ) Refractory Severe Aplastic Anemia: Initiate eltrombopag tablets orally at 50 mg once daily. Reduce initial dose in patients with hepatic impairment or patients of East-/Southeast-Asian ancestry. Adjust to maintain platelet count greater than 50 x 10 9 /L.

Do not exceed 150 mg per day. ( 2.3 , 8.6 , 8.7 )

2.1Persistent or Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia Use the lowest dose of eltrombopag tablets to achieve and maintain a platelet count greater than or equal to 50 x 10 9 /L as necessary to reduce the risk for bleeding. Dose adjustments are based upon the platelet count response. Do not use eltrombopag tablets to normalize platelet counts [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )].

In clinical trials, platelet counts generally increased within 1 to 2 weeks after starting eltrombopag and decreased within 1 to 2 weeks after discontinuing eltrombopag [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . Initial Dose Regimen: Adult and Pediatric Patients 6 Years and Older with ITP: Initiate eltrombopag tablets at a dose of 50 mg orally once daily, except in patients who are of East-/Southeast-Asian ancestry or who have mild to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A, B, C). For patients of East-/Southeast-Asian ancestry with ITP, initiate eltrombopag tablets at a reduced dose of 25 mg orally once daily [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].

For patients with ITP and mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A, B, C), initiate eltrombopag tablets at a reduced dose of 25 mg orally once daily [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . For patients of East-/Southeast-Asian ancestry with ITP and hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A, B, C), consider initiating eltrombopag tablets at a reduced dose of 12.5 mg orally once daily [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Pediatric Patients with ITP Aged 1 to 5 Years: Initiate eltrombopag tablets at a dose of 25 mg orally once daily [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Monitoring and Dose Adjustment: After initiating eltrombopag tablets, adjust the dose to achieve and maintain a platelet count greater than or equal to 50 x 10 9 /L as necessary to reduce the risk for bleeding. Do not exceed a dose of 75 mg daily. Monitor clinical hematology and liver tests regularly throughout therapy with eltrombopag tablets and modify the dosage regimen of eltrombopag tablets based on platelet counts as outlined in Table 1.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~3 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver function before and during therapy. ( 5.2 ) Increased Risk of Death and Progression of Myelodysplastic Syndromes to Acute Myeloid Leukemia. ( 5.3 ) Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Complications: Portal vein thrombosis has been reported in patients with chronic liver disease receiving eltrombopag. Monitor platelet counts regularly. ( 5.4 )

5.1Hepatic Decompensation in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C In patients with chronic hepatitis C, eltrombopag tablets in combination with interferon and ribavirin may increase the risk of hepatic decompensation. In two controlled clinical trials in patients with chronic hepatitis C and thrombocytopenia, ascites and encephalopathy occurred more frequently on the arm receiving treatment with eltrombopag plus antivirals (7%) than the placebo plus antivirals arm (4%). Patients with low albumin levels (less than 3.5 g/dL) or Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score greater than or equal to 10 at baseline had a greater risk for hepatic decompensation on the arm receiving treatment with eltrombopag plus antivirals.

Discontinue eltrombopag tablets if antiviral therapy is discontinued.

5.2Hepatotoxicity Eltrombopag tablets may increase the risk of severe and potentially life-threatening hepatotoxicity [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)] . One patient (< 1%) with ITP treated with eltrombopag in clinical trials experienced drug-induced liver injury. Eleven patients (1%) with chronic hepatitis C treated with eltrombopag in clinical trials experienced drug-induced liver injury.

Treatment of ITP, Chronic Hepatitis C-associated Thrombocytopenia, and Refractory Severe Aplastic Anemia Measure serum ALT, AST, and bilirubin prior to initiation of eltrombopag tablets, every 2 weeks during the dose adjustment phase, and monthly following establishment of a stable dose [ see Drug Interactions (7.5 ) ]. Eltrombopag inhibits UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)1A1 and organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, which may lead to indirect hyperbilirubinemia. If bilirubin is elevated, perform fractionation.

Evaluate abnormal serum liver tests with repeat testing within 3 to 5 days. If the abnormalities are confirmed, monitor serum liver tests weekly until resolved or stabilized. Discontinue eltrombopag tablets if ALT levels increase to greater than or equal to 3 x ULN in patients with normal liver function or greater than or equal to 3 x baseline (or greater than 5 x ULN, whichever is the lower) in patients with pre-treatment elevations in transaminases and are: progressively increasing, or persistent for greater than or equal to 4 weeks, or accompanied by increased direct bilirubin, or accompanied by clinical symptoms of liver injury or evidence for hepatic decompensation.

If the potential benefit for reinitiating treatment with eltrombopag tablets are considered to outweigh the risk for hepatotoxicity, then consider cautiously reintroducing eltrombopag tablets and measure serum liver tests weekly during the dose adjustment phase. Hepatotoxicity may reoccur if eltrombopag tablets are reinitiated. If liver test abnormalities persist, worsen, or recur, then permanently discontinue eltrombopag tablets.

First-Line Treatment of Severe Aplastic Anemia Measure ALT, AST, and bilirubin prior to initiation of eltrombopag tablets, every other day while hospitalized for h-ATG therapy, and then every 2 weeks during treatment. During treatment, manage increases in ALT or AST levels as recommended in Table 6.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Persistent or Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia Adults: In clinical trials, hemorrhage was the most common serious adverse reaction and most hemorrhagic reactions followed discontinuation of eltrombopag. Other serious adverse reactions included thrombotic/thromboembolic complications [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] .

The data described below reflect exposure of eltrombopag to patients with persistent or chronic ITP aged 18 to 85 years, of whom 66% were female, in three placebo-controlled trials and one open-label extension trial [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . Eltrombopag was administered to 330 patients for at least 6 months and 218 patients for at least 1 year. Table 8 presents the most common adverse drug reactions (experienced by greater than or equal to 3% of patients receiving eltrombopag) from the three placebo-controlled trials, with a higher incidence in eltrombopag versus placebo.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

7.1Polyvalent Cations (Chelation) Eltrombopag chelates polyvalent cations (such as iron, calcium, aluminum, magnesium, selenium, and zinc) in foods, mineral supplements, and antacids. Take eltrombopag tablets at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after any medications or products containing polyvalent cations, such as antacids, dairy products, and mineral supplements to avoid significant reduction in absorption of eltrombopag due to chelation [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

7.2Transporters Use caution when concomitantly administering eltrombopag tablets and drugs that are substrates of OATP1B1 (e.g., atorvastatin, bosentan, ezetimibe, fluvastatin, glyburide, olmesartan, pitavastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, repaglinide, rifampin, simvastatin acid, SN-38 [active metabolite of irinotecan], valsartan) or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) (e.g., imatinib, irinotecan, lapatinib, methotrexate, mitoxantrone, rosuvastatin, sulfasalazine, topotecan). Monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of excessive exposure to the drugs that are substrates of OATP1B1 or BCRP and consider reduction of the dose of these drugs, if appropriate.

In clinical trials with eltrombopag, a dose reduction of rosuvastatin by 50% was recommended.

7.3Protease Inhibitors HIV Protease Inhibitors: No dose adjustment is recommended when eltrombopag tablets are coadministered with lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/RTV). Drug interactions with other HIV protease inhibitors have not been evaluated. Hepatitis C Virus Protease Inhibitors: No dose adjustments are recommended when eltrombopag tablets are coadministered with boceprevir or telaprevir.

Drug interactions with other hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease inhibitors have not been evaluated.

7.4Peginterferon Alfa-2a/b Therapy No dose adjustments are recommended when eltrombopag tablets are coadministered with peginterferon alfa-2a (PEGASYS ® ) or -2b (PEGINTRON ® ).

7.5Interference with Clinical Laboratory Tests Eltrombopag is highly colored and can cause patient sample discoloration, which is reported to interfere with some clinical laboratory tests, including, but not limited to bilirubin and creatinine. Bilirubin Testing: Eltrombopag can cause both positive and negative interference with bilirubin assays. If the laboratory results for bilirubin are inconsistent with clinical observations, further evaluation of liver function should be performed to clarify the clinical status of the patient.

Evaluating contemporaneous aminotransferase values (AST, ALT) may help determine the validity of normal total bilirubin levels in the presence of clinical jaundice. Creatinine Testing: Eltrombopag can cause positive interference with creatinine measurements, leading to falsely elevated creatinine levels. In the event of an unexpected serum creatinine test result, further evaluation of renal function should be performed.

Blood urea should be evaluated if serum creatinine is unexpectedly high. Communicate to the lab conducting testing if the patient is taking eltrombopag tablets. Re-testing using other methods may also help in determining the validity of the test results.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment. ( 8.2 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Available data from a small number of published case reports and postmarketing experience with eltrombopag use in pregnant women are insufficient to assess any drug-associated risks for major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction and developmental toxicity studies, oral administration of eltrombopag to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in embryolethality and reduced fetal weights at maternally toxic doses. These effects were observed at doses resulting in exposures that were six times the human clinical exposure based on area under the curve (AUC) in patients with persistent or chronic ITP at 75 mg/day, and three times the AUC in patients with chronic hepatitis C at 100 mg/day (see Data).

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

Data Animal Data In an early embryonic development study, female rats received oral eltrombopag at doses of 10, 20, or 60 mg/kg/day (0.8, 2, and 6 times, respectively, the human clinical exposure based on AUC in patients with ITP at 75 mg/day and 0.3, 1, and 3 times, respectively, the human clinical exposure based on AUC in patients with chronic hepatitis C at 100 mg/day). Increased pre- and post-implantation loss and reduced fetal weight were observed at the highest dose which also caused maternal toxicity. In an embryo-fetal development study eltrombopag was administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at doses of 10, 20, or 60 mg/kg/day (0.8, 2, and 6 times, respectively, the human clinical exposure based on AUC in patients with ITP at 75 mg/day and 0.3, 1, and 3 times, respectively, the human clinical exposure based on AUC in patients with chronic hepatitis C at 100 mg/day).

Decreased fetal weights (6% to 7%) and a slight increase in the presence of cervical ribs were observed at the highest dose which also caused maternal toxicity. However, no evidence of major structural malformations was observed. In an embryo-fetal development study eltrombopag was administered orally to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis at doses of 30, 80, or 150 mg/kg/day (0.04, 0.3, and 0.5 times, respectively, the human clinical exposure based on AUC in patients with ITP at 75 mg/day and 0.02, 0.1, and 0.3 times, respectively, the human clinical exposure based on AUC in patients with chronic hepatitis C at 100 mg/day).

No evidence of fetotoxicity, embryolethality, or teratogenicity was observed. In a pre- and post-natal developmental toxicity study in pregnant rats (F0), oral eltrombopag was administered from gestation Day 6 through lactation Day 20. No adverse effects on maternal reproductive function or on the development of the offspring (F1) were observed at doses up to 20 mg/kg/day (2 times the human clinical exposure based on AUC in patients with ITP at 75 mg/day and similar to the human clinical exposure based on AUC in patients with chronic hepatitis C at 100 mg/day).

Eltrombopag was detected in the plasma of offspring (F1). The plasma concentrations in pups increased with dose following administration of drug to the F0 dams.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data regarding the presence of eltrombopag or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. However, eltrombopag was detected in the pups of lactating rats 10 days postpartum suggesting the potential for transfer during lactation. Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child from eltrombopag, breastfeeding is no…

🧒 Pediatric Use ~2 min read ▾

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of eltrombopag have been established in pediatric patients 1 year and older with persistent or chronic ITP and in pediatric patients 2 years and older with IST-naïve severe aplastic anemia (in combination with h-ATG and cyclosporine). Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients below the age of 1 year with ITP have not been established. Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients with thrombocytopenia associated with chronic hepatitis C and refractory severe aplastic anemia have not been established.

The safety and efficacy of eltrombopag in pediatric patients 1 year and older with persistent or chronic ITP were evaluated in two double-blind, placebo-controlled trials [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Studies ( 14.1) ] . The pharmacokinetics of eltrombopag have been evaluated in 168 pediatric patients 1 year and older with ITP dosed once daily [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . See Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 ) for dosing recommendations for pediatric patients 1 year and older.

The safety and efficacy of eltrombopag in combination with h-ATG and cyclosporine for the first-line treatment of severe aplastic anemia in pediatric patients 2 years and older were evaluated in a single-arm, open- label trial [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Clinical Studies (14.3)]. A total of 26 pediatric patients (ages 2 to < 17 years) were evaluated; 12 children (aged 2 to < 12 years) and 14 adolescents (aged 12 to < 17). See Dosage and Administration (2.3) for dosing recommendations for pediatric patients 2 years and older.

The safety and efficacy of eltrombopag in combination with h-ATG and cyclosporine in pediatric patients younger than 2 years for the first-line treatment of severe aplastic anemia have not yet been established. In patients 2 to 16 years of age, 69% of patients experienced serious adverse events compared to 42% in patients 17 years and older. Among the 12 patients who were 2 to 11 years of age in the eltrombopag D1 to M6 cohort and reached the 6-month assessment or withdrew earlier, the complete response rate at Month 6 was 8% versus 46% in patients age 12 to 16 years and 50% in patients 17 years of age and older.

🧓 Geriatric Use 121 words ▾

8.5Geriatric Use Of the 106 patients in two randomized clinical trials of eltrombopag 50 mg in persistent or chronic ITP, 22% were 65 years of age and over, while 9% were 75 years of age and over. Of the 1439 patients in two randomized clinical trials of eltrombopag in patients with chronic hepatitis C and thrombocytopenia, 7% were 65 years of age and over, while < 1% were 75 years of age and over. Of the 196 patients who received eltrombopag for the treatment of severe aplastic anemia, 18% were 65 years of age and over, while 3% were 75 years of age and over.

No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.

🆘 Overdosage 168 words ▾

10 OVERDOSAGE In the event of overdose, platelet counts may increase excessively and result in thrombotic/thromboembolic complications. In one report, a subject who ingested 5000 mg of eltrombopag had a platelet count increase to a maximum of 929 x 10 9 /L at 13 days following the ingestion. The patient also experienced rash, bradycardia, ALT/AST elevations, and fatigue.

The patient was treated with gastric lavage, oral lactulose, intravenous fluids, omeprazole, atropine, furosemide, calcium, dexamethasone, and plasmapheresis; however, the abnormal platelet count and liver test abnormalities persisted for 3 weeks. After 2 months’ follow-up, all events had resolved without sequelae. In case of an overdose, consider oral administration of a metal cation-containing preparation, such as calcium, aluminum, or magnesium preparations to chelate eltrombopag and thus limit absorption.

Closely monitor platelet counts. Reinitiate treatment with eltrombopag tablets in accordance with dosing and administration recommendations [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 , 2.2 )] . Consider contacting the Poison Help line (1­-800-222-1222) or a medical toxicologist for additional overdose management recommendations.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Eltrombopag is a TPO-receptor agonist that interacts with the transmembrane domain of the human TPO-receptor (also known as cMpl) and initiates signaling cascades that induce proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes leading to increased platelet production.

12.2Pharmacodynamics In clinical trials, treatment with eltrombopag resulted in dose-dependent increases in platelet counts following repeated (daily) dosing. The increase in platelet counts reached a maximum approximately two weeks after the initiation of dosing, and returned to baseline within approximately two weeks after the last dose of eltrombopag. Cardiac Electrophysiology At doses up to 150 mg (the maximum recommended dose) daily for 5 days, eltrombopag did not prolong the QT/QTc interval to any relevant extent.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Eltrombopag demonstrated a dose-proportional increase in exposure between doses of 50 to 150 mg/day in healthy adult subjects. Eltrombopag AUC was approximately 1.7-fold higher in patients with persistent or chronic ITP and approximately 2.8-fold higher in patients with HCV compared to healthy subjects. Steady-state was achieved after approximately 1 week of once daily treatment, with geometric mean accumulation ratio of 1.56 (90% confidence interval 1.20, 1.63) at 75 mg/day.

Eltrombopag AUC was approximately 3.2-fold higher in patients with definitive immunosuppressive therapy-naïve severe aplastic anemia compared to healthy subjects suggesting higher relative exposure compared to healthy subjects or patients with ITP and similar exposure compared to patients with chronic hepatitis C. Eltrombopag for oral suspension delivered 22% higher plasma AUC 0-INF than the tablet formulation. Absorption Eltrombopag is absorbed with a peak concentration occurring 2 to 6 hours after oral administration.

Oral absorption of drug-related material following administration of a single 75 mg solution dose was estimated to be at least 52%. Effect of Food A standard high-fat breakfast (876 calories, 52 grams fat, 71 grams carbohydrate, 34 grams protein, and 427 mg calcium) significantly decreased plasma eltrombopag AUC 0-INF by approximately 59% and C max by 65% and delayed T max by 1 hour. The decrease in exposure is primarily due to the high calcium content.

A meal low in calcium (≤ 50 mg calcium) did not significantly impact plasma eltrombopag exposure, regardless of calorie and fat content. The effect of administration of a single 25 mg dose of eltrombopag for oral suspension with a high-calcium, moderate-fat, moderate calorie meal on AUC 0-INF and C max in healthy adult subjects is presented in Table 14. Table 14.

Effect on Plasma Eltrombopag Pharmacokinetic Parameters After Administration of a Single 25 mg Dose of Eltrombopag for Oral Suspension With a High Calcium Meal a in Healthy Adult Subjects a 372 calories, 9 grams fat, and 448 mg calcium. Timing of eltrombopag for oral suspension dose Mean (90% CI) reduction in plasma eltrombopag AUC 0-INF Mean (90% CI) reduction in plasma eltrombopag C max With a high-calcium, moderate-fat, moderate-calorie meal 75% (71%, 88%) 79% (76%, 82%) 2 hours after the high-calcium, moderate-fat, moderate-calorie meal 47% (40%, 53%) 48% (40%, 54%) 2 hours before the high-calcium, moderate-fat, moderate-calorie meal 20% (9%, 29%) 14% (2%, 25%) Distribution The concentration of eltrombopag in blood cells is approximately 50% to 79% of plasma concentrations based on a radiolabel study.

In vitro studies suggest that eltrombopag is highly bound to human plasma proteins (greater than 99%). Eltrombopag is a substrate of BCRP, but is not a substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or OATP1B1. Elimination The plasma elimination half-life of eltrombopag is approximately 21 to 32 hours in healthy subjects and 26 to 35 hours in patients with ITP.

Metabolism: Absorbed eltrombopag is extensively metabolized, predominantly through pathways, including cleavage, oxidation, and con…

MEDICATION GUIDE Eltrombopag (el-TROM-boe-pag) Tablets What is the most important information I should know about eltrombopag tablets? Eltrombopag tablets can cause serious side effects, including: Liver problems: If you have chronic hepatitis C virus and take eltrombopag tablets with interferon and ribavirin treatment, eltrombopag tablets may increase your risk of liver problems. If your healthcare provider tells you to stop your treatment with interferon and ribavirin, you will also need to stop taking eltrombopag tablets.

Eltrombopag tablets may increase your risk of liver problems that may be severe and possibly life threatening. Your healthcare provider will do blood tests to check your liver function before you start taking eltrombopag tablets and during your treatment. Your healthcare provider may stop your treatment with eltrombopag tablets if you have changes in your liver function blood tests.

Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these signs and symptoms of liver problems: yellowing of the skin or the whites of the eyes (jaundice) unusual darkening of the urine unusual tiredness right upper stomach area (abdomen) pain confusion swelling of the stomach area (abdomen) See “What are the possible side effects of eltrombopag tablets?” for other side effects of eltrombopag tablets. What is eltrombopag? Eltrombopag is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 1 year of age and older with low blood platelet counts due to persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), when other medicines to treat ITP or surgery to remove the spleen have not worked well enough.
