Eltrombopag is this med that helps with low platelet counts in ITP and long-term hepatitis C. It’s like a super-stim for making more platelets. It does its job by getting those platelets to multiply faster.
You can get it in 25, 50, or 75 milligram tablets, all with that shiny coating. The go-to dose for grown-ups is 50 mg, taken once a day, and best on an empty tummy. Each bottle comes with a batch of 30 pills.
