Child 6 years or older
Chronic ITP: Initial dose 50 mg once daily.
Child 1 to 5 year

Renal Dose
Renal Impairment: No dose adjustment is necessary in ITP patients with renal impairment.
Contraindication
Eltrombopag is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment and who are hypersensitive to any of its excipients.
Mode of Action
Small-molecule thrombopoietin (TPO)-receptor agonist that interacts with human TPO receptor transmembrane domain of human TPO-receptor & initiates signaling cascades that induce proliferation & differentiation of megakaryocytes from bone marrow progenitor cells.
Precaution
Regularly monitor clinical haematology, platelet counts & serum liver test throughout therapy. Renal & hepatic impairment; hepatic disease. Thrombotic/thromboembolic complications. Increased risk of bleeding upon discontinuation of treatment. Bone marrow reticulin formation & risk of bone marrow fibrosis. Malignancies & progression of malignancies. Pregnancy & lactation. Childn <18 yr, elderly.
Side Effect
Most common adverse reactions are nausea diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, increased ALT, mayalgia, urinanry tract infection, fatigue, headache, Insomnia; headache, paraesthesia; cataract, dry eye; GI & hepatobiliary disorders; rash, pruritus, alopecia; arthralgia, muscle spasm, bone pain; fatigue, peripheral oedema; thromboembolic events.
Pregnancy Category Note
Pregnancy Available data from published case reports and postmarketing experience with use in pregnant women are insufficient to assess any drug-associated risks for major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes Animal data 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 Effects were observed at doses resulting in exposures that were 6 times the human clinical exposure based on AUC in patients with chronic ITP at 75 mg/day, and 3 times the AUC in patients with chronic hepatitis C...
