Eltrombopag is commonly used to treat chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, chronic hepatitis c infection and aplastic anemia.
Eltrombopag is a haemostatic agent which exerts its action on the pathway regulating megakaryopoiesis and platelet production. Eltrombopag will activate thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor, initiating marrow progenitor cells proliferation and differentiation and thus increasing the platelet production.
