Medicinal Benefits

Eltropag Tablet contains 'Eltrombopag,' which belongs to the class of 'thrombopoietin receptor agonists' used to treat low blood platelet count in patients with immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections and severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) in adults. Eltropag Tablet works by increasing megakaryocytes, the large bone marrow cells responsible for the production of platelets. The increase in these bone marrow cells stimulates the production of platelets. Thus Eltropag Tablet prevents bleeding episodes by increasing the number of platelets in the blood.
