Avatrombopag is this thing called a TPO receptor agonist. It’s mostly used to treat a low platelet count, especially in folks with chronic liver disease or something called immune thrombocytopenia purpura, which is just a fancy way of saying a blood disorder. You take Avatrombopag in the form of 20 mg pills, and you take one of these a day.
It’s best to have it with a meal. Each time you take it, you’re looking at a 20 mg dose, no matter what. Make sure you have your pill with food; that way, it gets absorbed better.
The medicine usually comes in bottles with 30 pills. There’s only one kind of dose to choose from, making it easier to manage your schedule. So how it works is it helps make more platelets, which is really good if you don’t have enough.
