Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) leaves patients vulnerable to dangerous bleeding from critically low platelet counts. Phoenix's haematology units at Mayo Clinic and Banner MD Anderson manage ITP patients requiring long-term TPO-RA therapy. Eltromag 25mg delivers the same clinical efficacy at dramatically reduced cost.
Eltromag stimulates the bone marrow to produce more platelets by activating the thrombopoietin receptor on progenitor cells. It's approved for chronic ITP patients who haven't responded adequately to corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy.
Brand Promacta costs over $10,000 monthly without insurance. Generic Eltromag provides the same benefit at a fraction of this price.

FAQ: What liver tests are needed while taking Eltromag? Liver function tests should
be checked before starting, then every 2 weeks during dose adjustment, and
monthly once stable. Eltrombopag can occasionally cause elevated liver
enzymes, usually reversible upon dose reduction. Most patients tolerate the
medication well with standard monitoring. |
