Avatrombopag is a prescription medication classified as a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, primarily used to treat thrombocytopenia associated with chronic liver disease and Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). It helps by getting your body to make more platelets. You can get it in these 20 mg tablets that have a coating on them.
The doc usually says you should take 20 mg of it each day, and yeah, it’s good to have it with some food. A bottle has 30 of these tablets, so that’ll last you about two weeks if you take them as directed. You need to be careful with this stuff ’cause it can mess with your liver and increase your chances of blood clots.
You gotta get regular checks on your liver and platelet numbers while you’re on this med, for sure.
