How it works
This product’s leaflet is published as a scanned document. This section quotes the US prescribing label for the same active substance (eltrombopag). It describes the substance, not this Bulgarian product — its uses and doses can differ.
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.
Absorbed eltrombopag is extensively metabolized, predominantly through pathways, including cleavage, oxidation and conjugation with glucuronic acid, glutathione or cysteine.
Effect of Food A standard high-fat breakfast (876 calories, 52 g fat, 71 g carbohydrate, 34 g 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.
