So, Avatrombopag is this special drug that helps with a blood disorder called thrombocytopenia, which is a fancy way of saying you don’t have enough platelets in your blood. It’s mainly used for people with long-term liver issues or something called Immune Thrombocytopenia, ITP for short. How it works is by getting those big blood cells, called megakaryocytes, to make more platelets.
You take these as tablets—each one’s 20 milligrams—and the doc says to take one tablet a day with a meal. These tablets come in bottles with 30 pills in each.
