How Does Eltrombopag tablet works
Some people bruise easily or bleed for longer than normal after a small cut. This happens when the blood does not have enough platelets. The small cells that help it clot. A low platelet count can come from an immune condition, liver disease, or certain cancer treatments. Left untreated, it raises the risk of bleeding that is hard to stop.
Your bone marrow makes platelets when a hormone called thrombopoietin sends the signal. Eltrombopag copies part of this signal. It acts on the same spot inside the bone marrow that thrombopoietin normally uses, pushing it to make more platelets.
Over time, this brings platelet numbers up, which lowers the risk of bruising and bleeding.
